Congrats to Albert Noah for his finishing of his 1st marathon.

There were a ton of Hot Chocolate 10k finishers from the Jan. 22nd race! Congrats to all finishers. Here are a few quotes:

(Best news of the weekend!)
My time was 1 hour 22 min and 22 sec. It was my first 10K.
Thanks!

I really enjoyed the Hot Choc race today - beautiful day, little wind, over 1000 runners, killer hill at the end. I finished 1st female with a time just under 40 minutes.
Thanks.

(Quote of the weekend! - She still ran faster than last year!)
The HC today was not my best work. My pace was down to 12:46, which is worse than my half marathon pace. I blame the fact that I was up until after midnight searching for my lost Foot Rx hat. Or maybe it's that I stopped using my inhaler. Or that I wasn't wearing Rachael's lucky shorts. In any event, I still finished almost 3 minutes better than last year. (But last year I was sick and dropped out, and only ran because there was an extra registration at the last minute.) The course was tougher too. The hill gets uglier every year. And my GPS read 6.39. There. I think that's all my excuses.

(2nd best quote of the weekend)
Speaking of the Hot Chocolate run, I did run... and I beat my time from last year! By one whole second! LOL!!! By my watch, I wasn't sure but I thought I was actually slower by one second, which really burned me up as crazy as it sounds, so I was pretty stoked when the official results came out. :-)

I crossed the finish in 42:47, good enough for a Top 50 finish (out of 825 finishers) and 6 of 53 in my age group. That was a 20-second improvement from last year, on a course that I would estimate, for a runner in my pace class, to be 45 seconds to a full minute longer than last year. So, all things considered, I was pleased that I braved the cold with the rest of the Asheville runners and ran the race. And there was plenty of hot chocolate afterwards for everyone.

The Hot Chocolate was more welcome than ever with the temperature in the low 20s at the start and not much warmer at the finish. I’ve run all four of the Hot Chocolate 10k races since it appeared on the scene in 2008 and I don’t think it’s ever been this cold. It was great to get the first race of the year under my belt, especially after a six-week break in racing and challenging winter weather conditions that hamper training. I felt great and had a good time. As always this race was impeccably organized and managed.
