VHTRC Women’s Half Marathon Trail Run
Pubblicato 11 settembre 2011Steph ran the VHTRC Women’s Half Marathon Trail Run at Fountainhead in 2h 25m 35s. She came 59th of 240.
The trails at Fountainhead regional park are extremely challenging with big elevation changes. The trail was also in bad shape due to the recent torrential rain. Steph’s usual half marathon time is 1h 40m.
Laurel Hill after the rains
Pubblicato 11 settembre 2011The first canyon on the pictures is on the lowest part of the Pasture Loop on the way to Power Station Loop. Pasted the canyon the rest of the Pasture Loop was either a river or badly washed out. All other trail on the south side were ridable but there are some trees down.
The second canyon is right after the bridge on the Giles Run Meadow trail. I took pictures from inside the canyons. The rocks to cross the Giles Run have moved so it’s difficult (if not impossible) to cross it with bikes.
