20K Snowball Series

Third Snowball Series run, 20K (12.4 miles, though it was long, garmin said 12.79), starting at Marathon Sports, going east on Olive, then north on Creve Coeur Mill Rd, then out on Waterworks Road a ways, backtracking around a bit, then finally heading back. Mid 30s with a northwest wind that wasn't nearly as bad as 2 weeks earlier, probably 20mph gusts and such. First 7 miles were between 10:00 and 10:46, then the next 5 miles were between 9:45 and 9:57, so I was finding a groove. Last .79 miles was slower, but most of that was into the wind and uphill on Olive, so pretty good overall. 2:10:22 total time, 10:11 average pace, 159 average heart rate.  We'll be missing the 4th race of the snowball series because of the Marathon, but I'm guessing it's the same course again anyway, so not a huge deal.
