I have finished my first race of the year. It wasn't 10 below, but it was definitely 10K. The race started out not so good. My legs were very tight and I wasn't sure I was going to make it the whole way. After about 10 minutes they starting feeling much better and I slowly started speeding up. The loop was interesting, an out and back on a ice/snow covered dirt road with rolling hills. There was a little water station at the 2 mile mark where I got a little water on the way out and back. On the way out, there was a group of people pulling away from me, once I made the turnaround, I slowly started catching up and ended up catching and passing about 3 people. The 3rd person I passed started to catch back up to me near the end, so the last few hundred feet I had to speed up into a sprint to keep him off. I ended up finishing about 20 seconds ahead of him. I finished 19th out of 49 with a time of 48:46. Here are some pics: [url]http://www.team-pinnacle.org/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=10below10k[/url] -- Ken Wiley "If you brake, you don't win."
