Comments:

After a tough few days refereeing, three full games the day before, I was not sure if I would even attempt this race. The temperature was chilly and windy at home.
Went any way..... the wind did not effect the race at all. But my hands were freezing.
Started to quickly...running an 8.10 for the first mile. Then the legs started retreating from all the running the two previous days. Oh well ..still had fun
What would you do differently?:

Needed to run outdoors more this winter...too much treadmill and elliptical. It does not compensate for the hills I did not expect.
Post race
Warm down:

Nice cool down ...two cookies and a banana
Went to Y afterwards and bike ten minutes and did some lifting. Then to the whirlpool

Event comments:

Always good to see people out even during the holidays and bad weather. Tuxedo Bros always put on a great event.
