It was a little cold last Saturday when I ran the Siberian Express. The temperature at the starting line was 2° F with a wind chill of around -15°F. There was 2-3” of snow on the ground and the trails.
I started a little too far back and had a hard time getting up to the group where I should be running because the large group narrowed rather quickly and I was locked into a single track of runners. When the trail opened up a little I was able to pass several people and started to find my race pace. The second half of the race was great. I just didn't have it in me to make up for the first slow half of the race.
- My time was 1:01:54
- My pace was 8:11/mile
- I finished 64th out of 401 runners.
- I finished 63 out of 288 Men.
Yes, that's right I was beaten by one Woman. One reason to train a little harder this year.
