Iceman Cometh 2006

Well, I finished Iceman for the fourth consecutive year.  It was a great day for the race, although it was VERY cold at the start.  We've been spoiled that last two years.  I did keep warm, except my feet were frozen the whole way.  Painfully frozen.  I need to get some of those booties that cover the front vents on the shoe.

Another issue was cramping again.  Same problem as the Boyne Marathon.  I need to really focus on my nutrition.  I did switch to Hammer Nutrition exclusively this year and their website has an incredible amount of info on how to properly feed the body.  That is my off season homework.

I did finish 22nd in my class (110 total), which is a huge improvement over my 67th place finish in 2005 (120 total).  My first year at iceman I finished 113 out of 128, so my training is working.  Goal for 2007 Iceman is top 5.

Here are some photos from this years Iceman:



Here's to another great racing season:
