Run
Comments: 5 laps around the Monroe Community College campus. One half mile hill into the wind each lap, but not terribly steep so no big deal. Heading into the wind each lap I would pull the mask up over my face and take it down to breath a bit easier when the wind was at my back. After the first lap I ran with the same group of people for most of the rest of the race. Nutrition strategy was a gel before the race and one at lap 2 and 4 just before the aid station. No real expectations as this was the longest run since the fall and I was just using it to log some outside miles. Plus they made it the first race of the 4 season challenge of 4 HM through out the year, I was planning on doing at least 2 of the other races so I figured the discount was worth adding this one. Did I mention I hate the cold? But, its done and although not even close to a PR, Im not disappointed from where my conditioning currently is. What would you do differently?: Find a race in a warmer climate Post race
Warm down: Since the last 2 laps were in the dark and the temperature was near zero, no problem cooling down. What limited your ability to perform faster: 2 races, one day. Event comments: First year for this race and I think the participation was higher than they expected, but they still handled it well. Last updated: 2015-01-05 12:00 AM
