And just like that, the 2019 Shannon Trail Series has come to a close. I'm sure Dennis is relieved. Let's give it up for him though, he did a fantastic job on this year's series. Sure, I was the co-race director, but Dennis put a majority of the work in. If you're one of those people that likes to get the "whole story" my write up from race #1 is here , race #2 is here , and last year's series wrap up is here.

As with all of our trail races, we spent a couple weeks out on the course on our normal Tuesday night runs. We had to be careful not to mark the course too early as Kent said that the longhorns will sometimes eat the tape right off the tree. Tuesday night course marking crew. I think Kent was explaining tape to us (photo credit: Jammie Preiser) Two of my former students came out w/us a few times. Thi
