Frustrating, that is all I can say about this race.
Temperature was fine. It wasn’t below zero like 2 years ago. They changed
location and I don’t like the change. The race was packed on very narrow paths
in the beginning. We got behind a lot of walkers and the walkers on this
particular day were terrible. They wouldn’t get out of the way. I’m all for
supporting people who walk but don’t stand 6 across chatting, let people
pass! The course was flat and boring and
parts were in the shade which made it a bit cold. There was a long out-and-back
section that didn’t help matters. I couldn’t pass people as there were people
coming at me. Whenever I got a chance to pass, I zoomed past the walkers. Part of the course was a bit sloppy and people
screeched to a halt so they could pussy foot around the mud and puddles. Seriously
people, just go! I was so frustrated that I gave up during mile 3 and just
walked. I was so furious! I managed to “sprint to the finish” and came in just
30 seconds faster than 2 years ago…a pitiful 41:32. Horrible, horrible! I’m not
sure if I will do Polar Dash again. I guess we will see.
