It's that the cold makes the feet numb, which can compromise form. Sounds like you didn't let your form get compromised! Congrats!<br /><br />But yeah, comfort counts. Time to start getting used to some footwear, in my opinion. Or move south, where it's 75 degrees right now at 8am.Junk Milerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723994360604534157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324004974797989962.post-9161789129734034292010-09-21T18:20:49.650-07:002010-09-21T18:20:49.650-07:00Love all of the pictures!

I didn't come close!!! I actually don't even have a real time because I ran with the wrong bib (long story)but short and fast is not my thing, and I DO know that I did not come in first. I felt the coulees on many of those hills, that is for sure. I love 5 peaks but seldom place. <br />Anyway, good job, Neil!

I did my first 20km run ever today with the group in fish creek and what a miserable bone chilling cold wet run it was. I have to say it was the worst run I've ever experienced, but I'm glad I stuck it out and finished it. I felt like quitting several times. I'll take minus 25 over this crap any time! 20km is a tough distance, at least for me and I'm reminded of your series of 20km runs before the half last spring....don't k ow how you did that!Kotoula01https://www.blogger.com/profile/12000972204481238748noreply@blogger.com
