The polar dash was held on Saturday, January 12, and was my first run for 2013. I was expecting to be running in snow and cold weather. That was not the case, no snow and the weather was in the 50’s and I wasn’t complaining! It was still cold along the lake, but it wasn’t anywhere what I expected.
For registering I got a fleece pullover and a penguin knit hat, they both kept me warm throughout the race.
The dash offered a 5k 10k or half marathon. I chose to do the 10k, thinking that since I lagged in training over the holidays I wouldn’t be ready to do a full half. They had a special medal for the half marathon 13 for 2013. When I saw that I thought I should have done the half. Oh well.
I finished the race in 1hr 13min 32sec. A little slower than my usual pace, but hoping that regular training will help in my next run.
