I was planning on racing the Drumstick Dash in Minneapolis on Thanksgiving in my Bikilas. I've only ever raced two 10K's, and my best was this year at 47:04 and I really screwed up that race. (I took off ridiculously too fast). Since then I've gotten a lot faster and I've been getting pretty psyched. I've done this exact course in 44:27 on my Garmin. So I was hoping for a new PR under 44 minutes.
Now it's forecast to be about 15 F degrees, with about 15-18 mph winds. And there may be a significant snowfall on Wednesday. It may even be snowing on Thursday.
I haven't registered. Should I give it up? Has anyone else raced in similar conditions? Are there any specific tips for racing in the cold?
(Maybe no one else will show up and I'll medal!)
