Cuddly Coyote 27km Trail Race

I have officially made the splurge and signed up for the Cuddly Coyote 27km trail race held on October 13th.  2012 marks the third running of this trail race starting at Black Point Nova Scotia.  This race is looking  like it will have a great turnout with 49 already registered for the 9 km race and 46 for the 27k race.

This race will actually make for a pretty good challenge as there is over 2200 feet of elevation change.  Sure nothing like a race on the west coast but still lots of ups and downs.  Check it out.

Going into this race I have no real expectations as this will be my first real race in 20 years but at the same time I feel relatively good.  The big challenge will be adapting to such a long trail run rather than my usual mix of trail and roads.  The good part is that I have covered the distance before and felt quite good still at the end.  Also tomorrow and Saturday I am planning on doing back to back 2-3 hour trail runs to work up the endurance.

Reality is with this being the first race too I just really want to get out there and see what sort of competitive juices I have in this body.

By the way I will be shortly posting my all time favorite granola bar recipe.  These rock!!!
