Run
Comments: Started out easy - it was pretty icy and cold, wanted to make sure I was warm before I put out any effort. Went through 1km at 3:43, mile 1 at 6:03, and 2km at 7:28, then 2 miles - somewhere around 12:30, this included some uphill and turns - then up a little more - hit 4km at 15:15 and 3 miles at 18:46 - finished in 19:26. There were probably 15 people in my wave- and I wasn't going to go too hard, just enough to get a tempo workout in 6:15-6:30 pace. I think I ended up at 6:20. I was in the back at 1km - then I started passing all the young guns who took it out too fast and passed my last two guys at about 4.5km - then just ran tempo in - I could hear on guy coming up on me - but I ran pretty controlled coming in - lots of ice and turns on this course. Last year I ran like 19:5x on a very nice day and clear course. Today was cold and icy - no need to go down in unimportant race. So - good effort nice day. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Ran to Barry's to set up his CT, then home after that. Legs felt great. What limited your ability to perform faster: cold/ice Event comments: Pancake breakfast after - how can you beat that! And a winter hat too! Last updated: 2006-11-27 12:00 AM

Got up, ate, got dressed.
Ran to the CU campus with Barry Siff. Temps were in the single digits. :-) Got to the field house - changed clothes - changed shoes, did my drills and pick ups.
