This was a fun race and dun to be united with all of the other crazy runners who run in sub zero weather! It was a hilly course, but scenic and what made it more challenging was snow and ice on the course, can’t get away from that in January in Minnesota. There was a bit of a snowstorm the day before so I was pleasantly surprised that the course was cleaned up better than expected. There was one water stop and the water was not frozen! The long sleeve tech shirt and medal were great. I would do this again and hope to improve my performance. I take it easy on the winter courses not knowing what to expect. But regardless it was a great way to enjoy January running!
