Macdonald Forest 15K

This was my first race since May 4th! I have put in a good 6 weeks of healthy running and was looking forward to a little hard effort. We went with a group of people, 3 of us ran the 15k trail run. We ran together for the first 3 miles. Tom broke from Matt and I on the start of a 2 mile hill. To give you an idea, we were 23:50 at 4miles and our next 2 miles were 8:28 and 7:20! The downhill after that was a 4:36. The hills were brutal. Tom, Matt and I finished 2, 3, 4. It was a blast.
Race splits: 11:55 (2miles), 6:03, 5:53, 8:28, 7:21, 6:00, 4:36, 6:33 = 58:30
