Awesome run. I had to run hard - every mile was fairly consistent. the weather for running was great. I was looking at mile splits and didn't realize how close to -40 i was. I was concerned about getting under 2:30. This was great a course PR
Post race
Warm down:

hang around a bit - get stuffed packed up - everything is wet

What limited your ability to perform faster:

pre-race nerves? I think i did the best i could considering the conditions.

Event comments:
