The race took place at Onondaga Lake Park. With the paved footpath set about 100 meters back from the lake, this out and back was as flat as a course gets. The only thing slowing things down today was the hideous buildup of ice and slush that covered 90% of the path. It was not a fast day traction-wise.
I felt fine and probably put in a big negative split after going into a headwind for the first half. However, today, it was not to be. I took second with a 16:42 as first place finisher Greg Stowell pulled away slightly around two miles, and I couldn't get the grip to cover at the end. So it goes.
Natalie didn't race, instead taking a third day off for a nagging case of plantar fasciitis.
