Today, Jess and I undertook the 1st of 4 legs in the Pikes Peak Road Runners Winter Series. The course was a rolling, snowy, muddy, and difficult 5K in Cheyenne Mountain State Park. The course was attractive with dirt/snow packed trails through the hills of the park. Even with our studded Saucony Kinvara and Razor II trail shoes there was no stopping all the slipping through the turns and up the hills, which made it a very hard effort to keep any consistent speed.
We ran with the Peak Multisport team (below in the blue) and Jess is smiling because she knew we would use the time directly after she finished to consume hot chocolate and donuts.
Great race! PPRR always puts on good events and is the friendliest non-profit in town.
Hope to see you out there on 1/25/14 at the 2nd leg!
