State #11 - West Virginia

Today I completed my first half marathon in 2017 in West Virginia. When the race started it was 6˚F and the trail had three inches of snow. I had three layers at the beginning, and had to return to my car for a fourth layer.  Brrrrr it was cold!  One of the more challenging races - I've ever done. The trail was limestone and was quite flat.   I loved the chili they served at the end!
