Comments:

We felt we needed to give the competition a headstart. Dud, Mike and I took off down the sidewalk and it was at about the 1 mile mark where we finally caught the last place runner. She was running about a 10:30 pace. Never got passed the entire race, the wind and snow was tough up along the lake.

Finally managed to run a race with the 2 of them without getting seperated or me letting my comptetiveness take over. Really enjoyed the conversation and with the weather, was the best option all around!

Thought about running it all out earlier in the week to test current fitness, but not the right thing today.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Post race

Warm down:

We went to Timmy Ho's and had lunch! Thanks Mike!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nada!
