How hard is it to run 21k on powder snow?

Nimble footwork handy. For purposes of damage dealt, the stream is lava liquid nitrogen.
 

I set out for a 21k course I know very well. There was fresh powder snow and it was not cold (-4C) with no wind. I did a cross-country the day before and a 12k run the day prior to it. In the end, I finished after 3hours totally exhausted. My previous attempt on the same course was 2h:08min with some snow on the trail and considerable time pressure. And I felt okay after the experience. So where can I attribute the differences in finishing time and the toll the run took?
