Some of the mistakes I made…
1 - I’m really poor at running technical downhills well. I got absolutely crushed on the first descent. I thought I was in great shape at the top of the first climb in sixth place, and then eight people blew by me on the descent. I don’t really have interest in being the world’s best technical downhills runner though…so I’m not sure what to say about that. 
2 - I crushed the uphill and felt so strong. Passed six or so people. Then got crushed on the downhill again. 
3 - totally gassed from running uphills too hard. Last six miles was about finishing and not competing. 
4 - I took no hydration during it. In road races you get disqualified from getting water/bottles from non race officials. Here everyone carried a bottle and had friends or crew helping them. I took one gel and zero ounces of water. Didn’t realize aid stations would be cupless. All of these are my mistakes, just things I didn’t realize in longer distance trail races. I don’t think I’ve ever been so dehydrated, even after a marathon. 
5 - I wore the wrong shoes, I should have worn the Skyfire. I like them better but thought a little more support in the Long Sky would have been helpful, but I didn’t feel as comfortable in them on the technical sections. Going back to racing in the Skyfire again because that’s the best trail shoe out there. 

Good news, I felt so strong on the first two uphills im in great shape with a couple more weeks of training before the VK in Italy. Also good news, people in trail running are so supportive. I think everyone (and there were many) that passed me all encouraged me by name. Such a cool sport and such a terrible result.
