Tuesday Night Race Series, session 1 report

I ran my first Tuesday night race, my first trail running race since sixth grade. Within the first mile, I had twisted my right ankle multiple times, making the decents through root-laden singletrack quite difficult. However, I did make it back and apparently was not the last person to finish. Here are the results:

did you actually twist your ankle (tendons & muscle, etc), or did your ankle just collapse a little sometimes? maybe you should get those trail running shoes that have a little bit of ankle support...

I just twisted it a little -- did not totally knock it out, but I had to hop down the singletrack, making everyone behind me really irritated. I'm waiting for some waterproof trail shoes with motion control for my crazy legs, and maybe a ankle brace for the next race. I'd like to strengthen them also, but that I think will take a long time.
