Tomorrow morning if you are skipping your long run because of the crazy temperature, keep all of us running at Winterman in your thoughts! Forecast has changed, for the worse. Wind is now meant to be around 40km, with gusts up to 60. Windchill temperatures will be around -35 or -36 C. My kids are running the 3k race; we have laid out the ski goggles so that they will have no exposed skin. My husband is doing the 5k, and I admit I may join him if the wind is going to be too much for a 10k run. On the positive side, at least I wasn’t looking for a PB this time around. This may just be one of those races you are happy to merely survive.
Race bibs and even more important – handwarmers!
Everybody ok? How’d it go?
We all completed our races without frostbite 🙂 It was crazy out there but it certainly felt like a true Canadian race. Footing was slippery but it was the wind that really made it tough. I had to walk a couple of times which I would never normally do in a 10k. The wind was coming right off the river and blowing snow everywhere in places. Fun morning though, toured the War Museum afterwards.
I saw you shortened your run today. Smart choice! Last I saw there were about 14 people who completed the marathon distance today…crazy!
Congratulations everyone! What an amazing running dynasty you and your family are
