I ran the Patuxent River Trail 10k today in Upper Marlboro, MD. I had no idea what the course would be like or the conditions of the trails. It was a relatively flat course (about 240' of elevation gain), but it was muddy singletrack with lots of leaves and the occasional downed tree. Additionally, the few hills were super steep. I finished in a time of 40:17 with an average pace of 6:27/mile, which was good enough for 3rd place in a field of 175. Needless to say, I'm very happy!
Avg. HR 172 (86% of max)
Glad you enjoyed it; we've posted 400+ photos from the race on Flickr, which you can browse or search by name or bib number ... and there are some good photos of you: Flickr link.
