Champion 10020 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread Y'all are crazy! Well, crazy to register in advance anyway. Actually, I was planning on doing it but my trip to Hawaii prevents me this year. How many times do you think I can bring that trip up? |

Expert 1092 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread Hawaii?!?! Shut up.  And Slahmmer, it will be my third too. Two years ago, it was GREAT weather. Last year... not so much... |

Member 269 Minneapolis, MN | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread Ok, so gotta be honest. Haven't actually registered for the race yet. I have been training, but with the snow, cold, etc its not been what I would have liked. In addition, if its -15 on race day morning I'm not sure I'd even show up. Hopefully this warm spell sticks around until the following weekend!  I'm just hoping for positive temps, is that too much to ask? |

I'm gonna keep my eye on the 10 day forecast. Yup. I'm a cold weather wuss... |

Good luck, guys! Hopefully it will be a soft, warm, snow at most. |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread In my experiance it is better to wait until race day registeration and pay the extra 5 bucks. Of course, I'm a wimp. |

Expert 1092 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread Looking on weather.com at the 10-Day Forcast, next week (the week leading up to the Half Mary) has highs in the lower to mid 30s every day!! That's GREAT racing weather! There are some possible snow-showers predicted Wed-Fri, but who knows what will happen that far away - it's all a "guess." I still need to "OK" signing up for the race with my wife tonight, but I hope to make it official later today or tomorrow... |

I have a family activity in Oakdale Saturday morning, but will be thinking about you guys and your 'ideal' weather. I have run this event several times. Prior to the last one, I thought the Porta-John I was using was gonna tip over from the wind. I think your biggest problem this year will be slush and wet feet. Good luck all! |

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread Wish I could. I have done the 5k several times and really like this race. Unfortunately I think I'm just getting to the point where I am feeling more confidance in my calf muscle and would hate to reinjure going back up that steep hill in the end. Have fun. |

Expert 1092 St. Paul, MN | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread It was a fun race! I took a lot of videos as I was running, and I hope to have a video put together by tomorrow. But in the meantime, here are some screenshots from those videos from during the race: http://iwannagetphysical.blogspot.com/2010/01/winter-carnival-half-... Have a good week everyone!! |

Member 269 Minneapolis, MN | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread Amazingly the conditions weren't too bad. Some cold rain for about 1 or 2 miles, but the footing was good and it wasn't extremely cold! All in all, the weather was about as nice as could be expected. |

| Member 41 Zimmerman, MN | Subject: RE: Securian Frozen Half Marathon : Official Thread It was a fun race, I picked up a friend early in the AM that day and parked in his drive way... well... i tried to park in his driveway. My car slid back down to the bottom of a very slight incline IN PARK! The roads at the race were great though, although going down the hill made me very nervous at the start. |
