Running 1:00:55 [3] 7.5 mi (8:07 / mi)
shoes: Asics DS Trainer
I'm not sure about the display working right on the TM, that's pretty fast, though there was a fan (normally I don't have that) so I was more comfortable, and I am figuring out how to run the TM better. I'll take it, but not sure about the "handicapped" machine.

Running 10:00:00 [3] 50.0 mi (12:00 / mi)
shoes: Inov-8 Roclite 305
Running 13:36:46 [3] 50.0 mi (16:20 / mi)
shoes: La Sportiva Wildcats
Course was very difficult, loose packed snow, and the wind for a good part of the day kept drifting in any packed down path that had formed, so we had to keep breaking a new trail in drifted snow. Cold, wet feet for the entire race, which gave me major blisters on the top of both feet and around my toes. I may have gotten slight frostbite, judging from some pictures I've seen online, hard to tell.
Body temperature was not an issue, the layers I chose (long sleeve compression shirt, long sleeve tech shirt, NRC tech jacket, and for 1 loop I added a long sleeve cotton shirt) worked fine, I was actually a little warm at times. Wore balclava and wool hat, cotton jersey gloves, white cotton gloves, and tech mittens (on and off throughout).
Overall, very happy to get the finish. I think I was a little undertrained, and faced more mental struggles than any other ultra to date, but that's what I was looking for!!

Running 2:03:00 [3] 13.25 mi (9:17 / mi)
slept:5.75 shoes: La Sportiva Fireblades
Very nice run, steady pace, but didn't feel like I was pushing it at all. Stopped to talk with an older gentleman shovelling his driveway on Brook road, I think he just wanted to complain to someone about the weather.

Running 1:13:00 [3] 7.5 mi (9:44 / mi)

Overslept, don't even remember hearing the alarm, but was able to get out for this. Very cold when running into the wind (didn't wear balclava).

Running 2:50:00 [3] 18.0 mi (9:27 / mi)
slept:5.0 shoes: Wave Inspire 4
Very good run, had to go slower since roads weren't plowed, good Beast training. When I ran into the headwind the snow stung my face bad enough I almost quit many times.
Very thankful that Alice literally pushed me out of bed when the alarm went off at 2:30, otherwise I wouldn't have made it out.
