Pre-race routine:

My sister met me at my home early and we drove together to the race. We were pushing my little nephew Gavin, so we had to make sure he was bundled up and warm.
Event warmup:

Stretched...tried to keep warm!

Comments:

I actually didn't feel too bad during this run. I had to stop early to tie my shoe, and Stacey wanted to take a walking break around the 1.5 mile mark. Otherwise, we shuffled through the run. Pushing Gavin wasn't too bad...I think it helped to keep things fun.
What would you do differently?:

Train more prior. I've never really enjoyed running and it is sure hard to get outside when it's below zero.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched...went to Subway for lunch!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

The cross country team puts this on twice a year to help raise funds for their team. They had a HUGE pot luck lunch after in the Gym, but we decided to pass since we had Gavin. It was a fun, small town, local event and I'll probably try to make it out in the fall for the next one.

Overall: 12/
Performance: Average
Course: This was a good course and they did a great job of making sure the roads/paths were free from ice and snow. The start was on the north side of the high school and the course made its way East past the athletic fields and onto the South Lyon rail trail heading South towards downtown. Once we hit 10 mile road, we cut back north through a neighborhood for a while, then left and heading west back towards the school. Flat course and the homes blocked the bitter cold wind.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
