Overall Rank = 8/131

Pre-race routine:

Race at 9am, up at 7 - one poptart and some coffee and fruit.

Wore zoot ultra, with tights, heavier socks, kinvara2 shoes, full toque and fleece gloves (forgot my race gloves/cap). 3 shirts (tri, long tech, short tech)


Event warmup:

I've run in -20 and today felt like that - just a biting wind that froze you to the bone. They actually had 2 tower heaters for the runners to crowd around. Wind was brutally cold going out but at the back coming back in.

Soaked in the shower for 20+ mins warming up afterwards.

Comments:

Thought I could PR off my marathon training - race was 3 weeks ago, and have been following the pfitz 5 week recovery. Still felt flat, just couldn't get the pace up.
Post race
Warm down:

Waited around for door prizes, met some other runners that I can hopefully run with this winter.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Still recovering from full - I would have thought 3 weeks would be more than enough... but strep+cold probably delayed it.



Event comments:

Great little "no frills" race, 15$ for timing and that's it.

Started ok but never really got my rhythm. Held 4:00-4:30.

Keeping cool Good Drinking Not enough
