Old Man Winter 10K in Lyons.
There was a lot of new snow on the trail segments (which was like running on slippery beach sand -- my calves are still sore, two days later), and the road / dirt road stretches were snow-packed. Even though it was actively snowing, there wasn't any wind and it was warmer than last year -- really pleasant conditions.
The only downside was that my nanospikes kept getting dislodged from my shoes (maybe because of the deep snow? I haven't had that problem with the spikes before). I had to stop FIVE times to adjust them, which wasted a lot of time. After the second time, I thought I would just ignore it, but they got so twisted that they were scraping the insides of my ankles with every stride.
But at least I got to race -- the 100K bike race was cancelled after ~20 miles (due to icy roads / dangerous conditions), and the 50K bike racers never even got to start. Ouch...
