Comments:

I started toward the back, since there was some climbing initially. Slow going for the first couple of miles until the group sorted itself. Once inside the closed trails gate, I settled in with a group of 4-5 others and traded positions a few times. We stayed together until the exit and climb up to Castle Pines, I actually managed to pull ahead here and ran the last few miles ahead of the group. Seems I have a gravity advantage downhill to make up for my climbing deficiency.

Post race

Warm down:

drove home and took a long, hot shower to thaw out.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Snow. Sleet. Mud. Temps at freezing.

Event comments:

Despite the conditions, this was actually a lot of fun. Looking forward to doing it again next year.
