Pre-race routine:

Got up and had waffles with almond butter and a banana. Packed a bag and drove 100 miles to Seeley lake around 8:30 am.

No warm up just stood around in the gym. About 3 min to race start we went out side to wait for the gun, a half hour passed before we got to run. my feet were frozen from standing on the ice.

Had a great pace through out, The ice had just enough snow on it that I did'nt have to use my spikes.The hill's were ok not to much pain.

More hill training, it was a great training run.

Warm down:

Walked around town got a mocha then drove the 100 miles back home.

Icy roads and a lot of hills and 4050 feet elevation, I've been training at 350 feet.
