Race Report - The Pinnacles Classic 2018

There are races when you might not achieve your goals, such as beating a PB or finishing in the top 50, but still enjoy the day and classify it as a success. This was one of those races.



The Pinnacles Classic is a trails race starting at the Gold Creek Dam in Brookfield. I did this race a couple of years ago as my first trail event and really enjoyed it. Back in 2016, I felt like I really overachieved having never raced on trails before. My finishing time then was 1 hour 58 minutes, which for an 18km trail race with over 800 metres of elevation was pretty good in my books. I was aiming for around the 2 hour mark and was very surprised to cross the finish line in under 2 hours.
