Race Recap: 

The trail conditions added to the challenge this year.  There were periods of drizzle & light rain thruout the day.  Trails were very wet & slick.  Temps began in the upper 30's and reached the upper 50's with overcast skies & light winds that picked up later in the afternoon.  There were less entries than recent years due to the wet weather that was forecast for race day and for some, because of the lack of trail training time in an unusually frigid & snowy January.

 Other notes:

The free pasta dinner provided by Quest Outdoors was SUPER!!   There were many "exotic" (including: Butternut Squash and Balsamic Gnocchi, Roasted Garlic and Veggie Pasta and other) pastas that were delicious!  Once again, Quest went above & beyond & also donated prizes for LLTH.  Thanks Quest Outdoors!
