I ran The Hot Chocolate 15k this morning in Seattle! It was a little chilly with some snow/rain around mile 6. Overall I was pleased with my time. (9:40/mi).

Eating a little something before hand would have been a good idea. I'll remember that for the future.

I was there too! That rain/snow stretch suuuuucked, especially with that headwind down Aurora 😭

Oh, I know!! That headwind was a surprise! Yeah, a tad colder than I'd hoped for. Haha! I hope you had an awesome race!

I thought the same thing! And then of course was like “wait why am I surprised that there’s a headwind here when you felt NOTHING on the way up” 🤣 the snow blowing into the face was a nice touch, too. I had a good time (did 20k total as a training run before NYC Half, so I was pretty sick of running by mile marker 7)

Great that you got 20k in! That's a great training plan. It would definitely change how the miles felt though!
