Run
Comments: Temperature was cold: -25 with the wind chill. Again, "Skating Rink". I couldn't get over how slippery it was, and that definitely brought the pace down. It was incredible how much faster I would go when I hit a patch of dry pavement. You don't even realize how much more carefully you're going. Didn't feel the cold after the first k or so, and after 5 I was downright warm. Also, the race was supposed to start at 10:15, and people took off at 10:00 instead. I came up at about 5 after and mostly everyone was gone. Got to play catch-up the rest of the race. The good part was that I didn't get passed even once for the entire race, but managed to pass quite a few people. What would you do differently?: I ran the 1st Kilometre with a friend of mine who was running *really* slowly before I decided to heck with the ice and bolted. I probably should just run at my own pace. Post race
Warm down: Light stretching, walking. A cup of free Timmy's and a Timbit. What limited your ability to perform faster: I should probably invest in a pair of ice-grippers for my shoes. Event comments: Had fun doing it and will no doubt be back again next year. Plus, I raised $115.00 for the salvation army for the less fortunate at Christmas. Nice! Ended up getting a shirt out of the deal, too. Last updated: 2004-12-01 12:00 AM

Wake up, play with baby, go to race, race.
Did a little high-stepping from the parking lot to the starting line, but that's about it.
