Tony Trimboli

Race Notes: My first big race. I had trained with Team Diabetes, raising over $1200 for diabetes research. The entire atmosphere, the camaraderie of training with a group, the challenge of the run itself, all worth it. My time was better than I had expected. I had an IT band injury a few months prior, which hurt my training. I really had no idea what to expect. I was able to get through it running most of the way. I took 2 very short walking breaks, mostly because my drink mix bottle was awkward to get at and I'm not that graceful :)

Race Notes: This was my first ever competitive run, since high school track. It is also one of the tougher runs in the state. I didn't know that a trail run meant you go up and down a small mountain. Also, the altitude in Flag at 7000ft was a killer. Glad I did it though, was a great challenge. It also made my subsequent training runs seem like a breeze.
