Ideal temp for me

Speed boost from cold weather.

Feeling adapted for winter running and looking forward to it.

Success with some winter-cycling gear

7th of 107 overall and 2nd of 8 in my age group. 7/63 for gender.

I tried a new approach to heat management. I pocketed my shirt at mile 10 and stopped at all the stream crossings to dip my hat or splash water on myself. Helped! Thanks to Jeff Yoder for the suggestion.

I did pretty well with pacing, although going out even a bit slower may have been better. 

I stopped at every aid station to drink while I was there, which I don't regret. I don't think I had a problem getting enough fluids or calories. 

I also focused on loading up on fluids and carbs the day before, and only half a smoothie for breakfast before starting in the morning. 

GPS tracking was broken after about mile 18. 

Official time: 6:01:16, pace: 11:39 min/m
