PMTR is one of the oddest trail runs in the USA. It was started in 1980.  

 1st place. Broke the Course  Record by 5 minutes.

With cloudy skies and an overcast day, and under the trees i just had to follow the trail flagging. Without the flagging it would be difficult to follow the trail at all. It had 4 or 5 inches of leaves hiding rocks and roots; and inches of slick pine needles hiding the trail.  

The race had some good runners. My job: run fast and ignore the pain, and stay on trail. I took the lead at mile 1 or 2 and slowly grew my lead. But actually, I never saw second place again. I felt fine and well recovered from racing yesterday. At least until my 16th mile. Then I felt it, and today. I ran in the last 3 miles trying  to break 2:30. Painful process, and tiring but worth not settling for less.

The hardest part of today was just staying on trail. There were also markings on trees that helped. The race generally followed the tree markings.... but not always. 

Overall: It felt like it was uphill both ways. Sure there were downhills, but they would fly away in trepidation under my feet, or quickly go into hiding as I covered them; only to be replaced with rocky winding uphills.
