Race Review - Summer Night Trail

This was the second race in our triple header this weekend.  We did the Savage in Ohio then drove to Indy and checked into a hotel, ate, showered and relaxed.  Then it was off to Eagle Creek Park for the night race.  It was 6.55 miles (quarter marathon).  We had done this race last year and it is a pretty fun race through the park.

131 Productions always puts on a good race, very professional.  So we got there and hung out and tried not to question our sanity on why we decided to do all 3 of these races in 2 days.

I figured I would just take it easy but that isn't in my nature.  I took off and ran the entire race.  I walked up the hills to not burn excess energy and besides, I had done enough hills that morning!

Thank God I passed the 6 mile marker!  haha.  I had ran this course numerous times so knew it fairly well.  Busting from the woods and to the runner's shoot.  My time was only 5 minutes slower than the previous year when I didn't do a race prior!  So, I consider that a success!
