Notes
wet, sloppy race, but a lot of fun. Didn't think i could race this today with the strained hamstring and foot problem but for what it was i think i did pretty good. Took off with the leader at the start and let him lead through 2 miles, and after that i took over and cruised through the course. Lots of steep climbs with slippery slopes and lots of puddles with ice and plenty of snow cover. Almost good enough for snow shoes.
Dissapointed with both my screw shoes and my yak-trax. I put at least 10 screws in each shoe and lost all but 2 in each. Both my yak-trax broke after 5 miles into the race, so as seen from my mile splits i slowed right down slipping everywhere, but i made it and broke the tape at the finish.
Temp at the start was 35ish and ended at about 49ish. Hat and gloves were needed, but probably could have done without them. need some real trail shoes or proper ice cleats if i trail race again.
