Notes
Good gathering of people, maybe 50-75, more than i was expecting on this cold morning. The instructions were to line up, "right about here's good," said the guy with the microphone. At least he was honest with us and told us the course was a little short, the bad is that he promised (literally next sentence) that it was still a 5k. HUH???
First 50m I had someone with me, but at 100m or so, all by myself. Click-clack of my IceSpikes and my breath. Settled into a solid effort behind the police escort and even managed to catch him off guard a few times. Didn't bother looking at my watch, nor did I see any mile splits, at the turn around I glanced down and it was somewhere around 8:3x I believe. At that point I had a good 600m lead on anyone. Wind didn't turn out to be a problem, but the snow crusted roads made me jump around a bit finding open tar. The last half mile or so was all on snow and i could feel it start to get real tough. Finished at least 2min before anyone else. Good solo time trial. I'll take it. Now to focus a bit more, and prepare for a half in March.
