Pre-race routine:

Got up at 6:45 AM, at my usual breakfast and drove to the event. Got there around 8:15, picked up my bib, and got changed.

Event warmup:

Did approx 1 km of the course including the hill. Didn't feel very good at that point.

Comments:

Started at the front which was my planned strategy, but went out a little too hard. My pace was decline until the last 400m when I picked up again. I had a goal of 14mins, and I still beat it given my my bad decision.

What would you do differently?:

Start off a little slower and take advantage of the terrain to go faster in the appropriate areas.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk around & drink water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My weight, and snow covered road at the beginning & end of the course.
