Comments:

I felt good today! Ran with Shannon and Drew for the first 2.5 miles until Shannon turned off for the 5 miler. Then ran the rest of the way with Drew. Drew helped me push it on the uphills even though I wanted to die. (thanks Drew!). Running on the ice and snow was a bit sketchy at times. And I swear we had a headwind for about 8 miles. The last 1.5 miles were tough for me...I was tired!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I am pretty darn pleased with my effort today
Post race
Warm down:

Chat with BT group. Get my protein shake. Go to bike store with Shannon and the Purringtons to discuss my soon to be Blue T-16 :)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HILLS. I absolutely struggle with uphills. And as Drew says, "I guess you need to run uphill more." LOL!

Event comments:

I really enjoy the Winter Distance Series. We'll see how the 20 miler goes in 5 weeks!
