See, if Pcad (of the marathon snow rides in the Hudson Valley) says it was cold, then I know it was cold!
Pcad, did it seem like the wind picked up as the race went on? Or was that just because of the 10 lbs. my legs seemed to gain?
Or was it because I got so numb I just didn't feel the cold anymore?

intention, as opposed to letting adrenaline over-rule my higher brain function.

Yeah, that's what I'll do - maybe now that I got the first-race jitters out of the way I'll be able to stick to the pre-race game plan!
