6:46, 6:34, 6:26, :36(6:09 pace) Woke up to a blanket of snow but was still excited to go run today. I ran this course a couple weeks ago so I knew what I was capable of and knew where the little ups were. Driving conditions were slippery so I was a little scared about running on the snow and slush. Made several calls to Josse flip flopping start plans. We both made it finally and did a few miles to warm up. Took a gel and water about 15-20 min before the start and we were off. I took all the corners pretty easy so I didn't slip out and I just tried to keep a steady effort the whole time. It was a decent effort and I felt pretty strong the whole time except for a bit of a side ache towards the end. Down hill 5k's are super fun and I'll take a PR even if it is aided :0) I've never placed that well in a race so that's kinda fun too. AP for the rest of the run was 8:23 about. Ran the course + a little back to our cars with Josse. She had to take off so I finished off with a few up and down Emigration. The day turned out to be pretty decent with no wind and the sun came out for a bit. So glad we did this today. Had so much fun!
