A very light snowfall greeted a fairly large group at the 8 AM start. Temperatures were below freezing, but warmed up a bit during the day. The consensus seemed the be that the conditions were perfect. Very little ice was encountered along the course and the snow accumulation during the day did not significantly impact most participants. Only one casualty was reported: Liza, who started at Lynn Canyon, badly twisted her ankle and had to stop at Deep Cove.
The nice thing about an out and back course is that you get to see everyone eventually. It was nice to stop and chat.
The course is a bit longer than 25 K, but consider the extra as bonus miles. We don't give credit for the extra distance to people foolish enough to run an event like this.
