After having such a good time at the Superman 8k, I was eager to try another trail run. I kept my eye out for a local event, and found the Angry Tortoise 25K (15.5 miles). This race was held in a state forest outside of Jacksonville. I couldn't convince anyone to go with me, so I went solo. I'm glad I didn't sit it out because the course was awesome, the weather was beautiful, and I felt so good just being out in nature. Due to the race being in a state forest, we had to bring our own water container (they couldn't hand out cups). I bought a camelbak to wear, but ended up not needing it because the weather was so nice. The miles flew by. It had been a rainy few weeks, so there were a few "water obstacles". This just made the race more fun. I finished with a time of 2:40:02. I am definitely interested in doing this run again next year.
