Pre-race routine:

The usual morning stuff. Horses, coffee, computer. Nothing special since it was really a training run.
Event warmup:

Jogged down to the park and back to check the ice. Yep, there was plenty of ice. Knew at that point it was going to be a slow one. Lots of people hanging out inside.

Comments:

PW (personal worst)!!! With that much ice and slush there was no way I could go fast. Some people were just zipping along, but not me. Falling hurts. So I just trotted along. Got too hot (of course) and had to take the gaiter off. Then my glasses fogged. Gah. I was pretty glad to be done actually.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think the Yaktrax would have helped, since a lot of the trail was dry pavement. Nothing would have helped.
Post race
Warm down:

Stood around and talked. Then we went to the pool for a short swim. And hot tub.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The usual. And the ice.
