Wild In The Woods Quail Ridge 5M

5 mile trail run out at Quail Ridge park, final Wild In The Woods run. We started in a field about 20 wide or so, but after 100 yards the course narrowed to a single track trail, so a big log jam. Course was fairly tough, had to watch my footing often and there were few times I could run without focusing. Ran most of the way with Bob. Splits of 10:43, 9:41, 10:58, 10:36 and 10:00. Finish was a tough uphill. Overall 52:00, 10:24 pace, 169 AHR, though the max was 179 during the final mile with a 175 average over the final mile. Fun series, will do again. Was 72 out of 126, 52 out of 75 men, and 12 out of 14 in my age group. Some day I'll do better (:
