The 10 and 15 kilometer classic races at the 2004 US Masters Nationals in Marquette, Michigan were held on Thursday. The start of the race was postponed about 30 minutes since the temperature close to race time was still -4 F and the windshield factor was around negative 20 to 25. The jury decided however to hold the race as a Championship race when it “warmed up†to 3F (who was breathing on the thermometer?), but made it into a mass-start event where all age categories, men and women started together.
