run (warmup) 25:26 [1] 2.31 mi (11:01 / mi)
Custis trail 19F. Warmup before race, 13:03, cooldown after 12:23. Checked out part of the course. Seemed to be clear of snow so decided to go with normal running shoes instead of O studs.
run (race) 53:12 [4] 12.0 km (4:26 / km)
DCRRC Custis 12k. 10am, 19F before the race, mid 20s after. Course was changed from last year to use different start. New section was slick snow and ice. My warmup run was misleading as 1/2 the course was snow and ice covered. Should have worn my studs. Felt I ran well but had trouble on the slippery sections and the times were slow. Hear the course may have been short also. Nadim and Peggy were there as well. Nadim finished well in front of me, Peggy behind.
