Over to Hailey, ID for a Turkey Trot 5k. This was a little warmup around town, checking out the beginning of the trail section that they said would be icy.

Hailey Turkey Trot 5k!
Wow, that was maybe the most awkward start to a 5k ever. Everyone was just milling about this square, not at all ordered or even facing the right direction, then the horn blew. I went around the ski shop one way, other people cut another way, but it worked out ok after about 200m anyways.
Then! The snowy/icy section. Icebugs would have been awesome for this part, as it was, always looking for the bits of the trail that looked like they would give some traction. I kinda liked this part, but it was definitely different. One guy lost his Yaktrak and had to go back for it!
Ok race, although didn't feel very strong. Then again, it was at 5500 ft or so, so between that and the ice, perhaps not so bad. Still, wimpy for a Turkey Trot compared to the Poughkeepsie options of a hilly 5 mile or 16 mile!

Cool down and cheering the rest of the Scofield family in. Winning resulted in a new little LED headlamp and pair o'socks!
