It was the Noquemanon (the "No-kay") - a 51K race from Ishpeming to Marquette in the UP. Very pretty trail - fun race. We (group I run/ski with) went up Th, skied some friday (about an hour), raced Sat., skied a little more sun., and drove home. I finished in 4:03, which was about a 1/2 hour faster than last year's Birkie (but the Birkie is tougher). I only did the 1/2 marathon last year, so I don't have a year to year comparison (and the 1/2 is the easy half of the course). I skied hard, but tried to enjoy it as well - stopping at some of the vistas that overlook Lake Superior, refueling at the water stops. I finished 50/56 for men 40-44, so I'm not setting any records. In fact, all 5 of the men 65-69 beat me by a considerable margin. I rationalize it by saying this race is for the hard cores.
