Notes: The Lake Chabot Trail Challenge is part of the California Half/Marathon series. Absolutely beautiful day on an absolutely beautiful course!!! Official time of 2:13:49 was only good enough for 15th in my age group. This race was put on by the Castro Valley Track Club and a lot of speedy folks showed up! I was going back and forth with a few runners, came around a corner and found one dusting himself off. He said a root had reached out and grabbed him. Yeah, they do that. I offered and squirted some water on his cuts and we got back to our "battle". Continued going back and forth until I got into 5k mode and didn't see him again until after the race. Another runner came up to me after the race and told me he was chasing my tattoo the entire race! Ha Ha!!!
This is definitely the smallest medal I've ever received!!! (About the size of a quarter!)
5 aid stations that were well placed, but the watered down sports drink was not worth stopping.
Planning to repeat next year!!!
