Since this was a trail run, we had to go up steps for quite a bit of the race. When we got to those parts, I walked up them because I knew there was no way I’d be able to run up them. Just a big fat reminder that I need to do more training. So this race was more of a run-hike-run race for me. Whatever, at least the downhill part was fun. 
A pic taken at the top of the course. Now I don’t usually take pics during the race, but there was nothing else to do while we were getting in line for water and bananas, so why not?
Congrats on your race. It sounds like it was a challenging one.
Thanks Kristi, it sure was!
Congrats beauty! With all those hills I doubt anyone would have been able to run the whole thing. You should be super proud of yourself 🙂
Thank you so much Davida!!! 😀
That sounds brutal! I’ve never done a trail race, and the one time I ran trails I was DYING.
I was dying the whole time, too. Maybe I should stick to road races from now on. 😛
Aww well done on your race, what a great achievement!
Thank you Jan. 🙂
Congrats once again- and best name ever!
Thanks Arman! Haha, so true. 😛
Awesome work! I often feel like I might be ‘running’ slower than people walking up a hill – it is such a snail pace!! Hope you’re recovering well 🙂
Thanks Corinne! I often feel like I run slower than some people walk too. Oh, well. 😛
Congrats on finishing Shawn! 🙂
Thanks Brandi! 🙂
Congrats! And love your new blog layout 😀
Thanks Liz, glad you like it. 🙂
Congratulations with your first race! The hills look amazing… I haven’t seen these types of hills/mountains in Taiwan before…but I would love to see more!
Thanks Rika! 🙂 You should definitely come for a visit soon. 😀
