Disappointed to wake up to 5 inches of fresh snow. Luckily up by hogle zoo there was only an inch or two of snow on the roads.
I met up with my good friend Tom and we ran about a 3 mile warmup. On part of the warmup we were on the first half mile of the course. It seemed slick and slushy and not a great day to race.
The gun went off and the race was on. The first mile was probably the worst for snow & slush. The second mile I was able to find mostly just wet roads but the last mile had some more slushy parts. Making the corner onto the track I had to slow down to a walk.
It's always fun to run on an aided course with over 300 feet of vertical drop and see that you're doing sub 6 miles. It also helps to know Tom is behind me and that I want to put as much distance on him so I can show him who's boss.
Miles 5:52, 5:43, 5:36, .33 Total time 17:44
