Subsequent to intersection the completion line, he let us know his story of misfortune on the wrong trail. Without acknowledging it, he had turned into the "ideal example" for what NOT to do amid a trail run!

How could a timberland in Illinois gloat so much sand, desert plant, and pine trees? The zone is the consequence of an ancient dry period when more forsake like conditions existed in Illinois. The timberland has some level, to a great degree pleasant extends of trail (44 miles taking all things together) that make it brilliant for explorers and in addition runners.

After the race, nonetheless, everything I could recollect was the areas of moving sand ridges. Despite the fact that I wore "trail gaiters" over my shoes to keep the sand out, the sand still crawled into my socks through the cross section of my shoes' toeboxes. More regrettable still, the sand was so profound it was hard to get footing while running up the precarious slopes, bringing on various runners to slip to their hands and knees while jogging along. These sandy segments were secured with straggling, inching dead vines in late winter that stumbled your feet, and scratchy dead plants that cut your lower legs as you passed.
