You and I are in the same boat for 2010, and frankly, I think it will be more enjoyable this way. See you on the trails!

My husband and I did the PHUNT 50k that day. We lucked out b/c most of that run was in the trails, so we were somewhat blocked from the wind (although we still got it at times). I had 5 layers on my top that day! I heartily agree a good hat that covers your ears is a necessity. Windbreaker a must. Gloves - hands, head & feet really play a significant role in the body temp. No doubt that hot chocolate tasted GOOD - and a great recovery drink :) Nice work! Oh, yes, Saturday was cold! My husband and I did the PHUNT 50k that day.

I'm glad you had a friend with you...would hate to think of what may have happened if you didn't have someone with you. Running in this weather is not for the sane I tell you...but we do it just the same (I, however, would never be brave enough to undertake your challenge!). Wearing a hat is crucial this winter in NJ (so much colder than last year). I will also admit that I invested in thermal running gear (love them like I can't begin to describe). It's made my runs in Toronto Canada over the holidays and these last few days more than doable for me. Keep training both indoors and out and yes, do keep warm. Best! :) What a nasty experience.

We'll get you prep'd for the ultra. Rest up. You'll need it. Sorry the 2nd half the race went bad but it sounds like you were on goal pace till the 6 mile mark. We’ll get you prep’d for the ultra.
