Pre-race routine:

Blizzard the night before, with wind/snow during the start. Wore long pants, underarmor, nike warm long sleeve and the long sleeve race shirt over top. Scarf and my big driving gloves and the heavy touque. Ate a bit of toast 90 mins before.
Event warmup:

Was running late due to roads, made it to start 2 mins before gun.

Comments:

Hate these conditions - it's like running in sand. I should be around 40 mins.

What would you do differently?:

Meh, nothing you can do - everyone else is slower too.
Post race
Warm down:

Stew and a roll with a lot of coffee.


What limited your ability to perform faster:

No short work, just beat from marathon training. If this is a good pacer race I'm in trouble. :P


Event comments:

Good race with some good door prizes (weight in beer). No medals so we get better shirts and prizes.
