Comments:

Absolutely perfect day for a race. It snowed a few inches the day before, and even though there was bright sunshine the trees were still covered with snow. The course is already really pretty, and the snow made it even more beautiful.

I felt good and I ran well. My running has been improving all year and I was over a minute faster than last year. Almost cracked the top half of my AG. Man, there are a lot of fast 50-59 men!


What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Half a mile or so of easy running. There was some hot food, but unfortunately I didn't have time to stay.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm slow and don't train enough. Probably could have gone harder the first couple of miles.

Event comments:

This is a really nice race. Small, low key, beautiful course, and a "Toys for Tots" collection. Wonderful end to a great season!
