Ten degrees out. I wore my Elmer Fudd hat to try to stay warm. My daughter came with me this year. Neither of us did very well compared to our other races, but it was cold and slick and we had been eating deep-fried snicker bars the night before.
We stuck around afterward for the awards and to our surprise, she came in first in her age group (actually second, but the first person placed in the overall) and I got second. It helped that there were only 200 people this year.
