Total Distance
10.50

10.5 miles around Coos Bay.  I ran back and forth on the downtown streets to keep it pretty flat but after 7 miles or so, I ran the first mile of Pre's course, then came back to the hotel via a road I've never been on.  One of the steepest inclines (and subsequent declines) I've ever ran.  I liked the uphill but was HATING the down.  Wasn't good on the knees...

Hey, I put some advice for you on my FRB. Let me know if you want more info.

One warning- once you run a trail ultra, you might never reach your sub-2:30 time. Not cause you're not capable, but because you decide trail races are so much more enjoyable and ultras are such a different challenge that you never go back to hard road races. I broke up with marathons in 2009 after my sub-2:35 and have never looked back. :)
