Burke Lake Race - A D.C. Road Runners Race

Warming up for a 4.5 miler on a cross country route through trails at Burke Lake around 6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 19.
As you can see this is the Burke Lake Railroad, and I'm betting the grandchildren would have enjoyed riding this. I would have, too, but I had a race to run -- number 35 toward my goal of 50 this year.
Finish time: 42:31 (9:27 pace). I placed 48/56 overall, and was the 10th of 12 females. I felt much more confident running trails this time, and was just one second per mile than my first and best cross country race nine days ago.
