Pre-race routine:

Wasn't sure if I would be able to do this race and I haven't been training or sleeping much the last couple of weeks, so I was just looking to have some fun.
Event warmup:

A mile or so of jogging and walking with some pickups. Made sure my reindeer antlers wouldn't fall off.

Comments:

Good day for a winter race. Not too cold, no sun but also no wind. A little hilly. Out and back, up a big hill, down the other side, back up and down again. About 200 ft. climbing in the first mile, and over 400 ft. total climbing. Felt very good so I pushed myself pretty hard up the hills. This is a good time for me so I'm happy with the race.
What would you do differently?:

Not much

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm slow and don't train enough.

Event comments:

Fun local race. Some cool hats and antlers. 2 women had great toy soldier costumes.
