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.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

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

This is a very scenic race and a lot of fun, I beat my time from last year by 16 minutes.I will do this again next year.
