Not a good race. I wish I had been able to keep warmer. I ran at a good pace, but couldn't get warm. The cross wind kept my fingers and nose cold until 4.5 km. I had some serious side stitches from 4 km on. I just never felt comfortable, I didn't have that race instinct. I wanted to catch some of my pacers, but just couldn't make the move. My goal was 22 minutes or better, so I'm happy with my time, but I wish it had been a better run.

I've got to find a solution to eating and running in the mornings. I ate 2 hours before the run, a bagel & a banana, but just felt my gut getting worse the whole time.

The wind really made dressing tricky for me. Ususally I end up wearing too many layers, today I probably had one to few. Another layer on top and a second pair of golves would have helped me feel more comfortable.
