Well did you make it up there Jim? I can't seem to find any results.

Yes, I did!! When I left the house, it was 4 degrees and maybe 15 to 20 at race time. Winds were minimal so it was very tolerable.

I finished 23rd of 234 and ran 36:19. Won the 35-39 age group by a couple of seconds!! Most of the course was icy with some bare spots. I was glad to race again, and was sore shortly after finishing. To give you some perspective, the winning time was over 31 minutes. Results link is below:

Also, there seems to be somepeople disgruntled and believe the course was long. I have no idea since I haven't race much this year. It could very well be that I am slower than I hoped but the link for the blog discussions for this is below and entertaining. No one really answers the question,... was the course long?

Nice way to start off the year! Congrats!!

15-20 degrees with some wind off of Lake Erie could have been brutal.

Post up a link to the pictures once they are available :-)
