Pre-race routine:

Rough New Years=Rough morning! Would have liked to aim for closer to 7 minute mile pace, but the beverages consumed the previous night were still lingering.
Event warmup:

short jog and mostly just trying to stay warm!

  • 40m 9s
  • 5.07 miles
  • 07m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

The extra .07 miles was probably a combination of not running straight and the GPS being slightly off.

What would you do differently?:

Kept it a little more low key for New Years. I actually felt much better during and after than I expected to.
Post race
Warm down:

cold beer and Atomic wings at Quaker Steak and Lube

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too much fun on New Years Eve.

Event comments:

Great small New Year's Day race. I know they had to work hard to get the trails cleared, and the overall vibe was pretty good. I'll definitely run again next year! I think its a great family tradition to get into!

Course: Mostly flat, parts were a little icy/snowy, but overall pretty good traction. Mostly the snowy parts were miles 2,3, and 4 actually, where the pace slowed down.
