The Pioneer Press<\/a> is reporting that a 27 year old won the recent Frozen Otter Ultra Trek<\/span><\/a> and his prize included losing 2 of his toes.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old from Davenport, Iowa, was one of only two competitors to make it past the half-way point of the 64-mile race that started at noon Saturday. He spent nearly 17 hours on the Ice Age Trail in the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest.<\/p>\n

At one point, the temperature dropped to nearly 15 below zero.<\/p>\n

[Andrew] Wells was the only person to make it past the fifth check point near the 40-mile mark.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wells is quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

“My feet were obviously frozen, so I couldn’t feel them,” he said. “And it was too cold to take my shoes off to check my feet. On my hands, I had mittens on, and just to take them off for 30 seconds, my hands got really cold, painful.<\/p>\n

“I thought my toes were OK.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wells was wearing shoes, wool socks, and water proof socks to cover his feet. I wimped out and thought it was too cold this weekend even for a 5 mile run, I can’t imagine trying to run 10x’s that far, what were those crazy people thinking?? Remember the Green Bay game? It was -23 with wind chill Brrrr!<\/p>\n

On a similar note there is a Frozen 5K and Half-Marathon<\/a> this weekend as part of the Winter Carnival<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Workout<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did an easy 4.42 on a -4 degree morning with wind chills around -20 in 41:44. There was a fresh layer of snow (less than a 1\/2 inch) that helped make the sidewalks less slick, but still dangerous. I’ve been avoiding the roads still since I don’t have any lights! Less than a week and we’ll be moved into our house and settle into a gym and stuff!<\/p>\n
