conscience cross

Conscience cross has come and gone. After surviving the cerebral suffering of the past few days, the race itself was a breeze. Yes it was cold: -29 when I headed out the door. But somehow having 9 other fellow sufferers out there helped make it more tolerable, almost even fun. And Hal made sure to incorporate plenty of running sections to keep the feet from freezing. 5 laps in and around Omand's Creek. Just about a perfect length--except for those whose freewheels froze open.

So Winnipeg Harvest now has a bit more food to dole out. And our consciences are clear for now, even if only for not giving in to the cold. As for those of you who decided to stay home--you know who you are--may your winter linger on like a Kevin Costner movie.

Special thanks to Scott and Deanna for supplying a warm pre- and post-race gathering place, not to mention food, drinks, and a coffee roasting demonstration.

Hal has the results, and will no doubt post them soon.
