We finally got some decent weather for the final 2009 trail series race. It was mid 50's at the start with partly cloudy skies. I was going to take it easy and just work a little on the uphills but I felt good so I ended up racing if you can call power walking up West Horsethief at 20 minutes per mile pace racing. I finished in just under 2:13 in 46th place out of 130 runners and hikers.

Next up is the Silverado Trail Race next weekend followed by the Catalina Marthon on March 14.





I caught this partial rainbow while driving home from work on Culver Drive a couple of weeks ago. The rainbow is behind the traffic signal.
