Run
Comments: Well, it was too cold and windy for my to "need" to stop for water. Of course, I could have used the water but I decided that it was only 5 miles and I wanted this run over as quickly as possible! New PR Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What would you do differently?: Wear plastic bags in my shoes....really the water was unavoidable. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Slush, cold temps, and wind Event comments: The "Rate this race" number is low, not because it was a bad event, only because the weather was so awful. I BEAT MY 2008 TIME BY ALMOST A WHOLE MINUTE. This is with the poor running/weather conditions. My 1/2 Marathon training is really helping me out this year. Last updated: 2009-02-21 12:00 AM

Got up "early". PB&J and potty. Drank about 8oz of water and packed up & got in car. Parked on Financial about 1 block South of BT meetup @ Bar Louie. Walked/sloshed my way to start area and arrived exactly 5 minutes prior to Corral Area cutoff.
Ha! "Warmup", yeah right. It was freezing and there was no escaping the slush and water on the ground. I "warmed" up by standing in my Start Corral next to the rest of the people in there.
This weather SUCKED!
