10 miles behind the Capitol and half mile up City Creek  1:33:13  9:19 ave.  First run in the snow, slight breeze, pretty cold.  Seriously considered logging only 6 miles but I maned up and did 10.  This week will be on the light side due to the race on Thanksgiving and other various weekend activities.

Clear and cold day.  I was dressed perfectly for the temp (somewhere in the low single digits) but my face has never been colder, ever!  Other than that I did not feel any effects from the cold.  This race is supposed to be a 6K (3.73 miles) but it seemed longer, someone with a Garmin said it was 4 miles, which sounds more accurate to me based on the race times.  The course was changed due to low temps.

I have coveted a metal from this race for years.  They are quite stylish round glass.  I would have been overjoyed with 3rd place, so needless to say a 1st place in this race makes me very happy.  In fact, based on the results posted after the race it looks like I was the top Master runner.  Wow, that's not going to happen very often, especially in a race this size (800-1000) I suspect some fast boys slept in this mornining. 

 

Edit:  After subtracting the walkers (47) there were 495 runners.  14 in my AG  77 masters.
