Tomorrow, January 16th, Feel Good Farm 9K Snowshoe Race, located Lyndeborough, NH, will be the second race in the Granite State Snowshoe Series. It looks to be a fun and challenging race. 9k is a long distance to run on snowshoes and as far as I know the longest yet to be part of the snowshoe series. It also runs up and down Moose Mountain four time so it is sure to be a hard 9k. Currently, first overall female and8th place overall male, Amber and I hope to have a good race tomorrow.
However, I won't let a fun new opportunity pass me by, so before tomorrow's 11:30 race, I will be doing Winter Wild #1 at Whaleback Mountain at 7am. Put together by Chad Denning, a former member of the now defunct EMS Adventure Racing team, Winter Wild is an uphill racing series that starts and ends at the base of a ski area-having to race up AND down it. You can choose to be in one of four categories:
1) Open category (stabilizers, running shoes, snowshoes, yaxtrax, etc), 2) Track Skis (lightweight skating/diagonal gear) 3)Telemark (full metal edged skis with a 3-pin or cable binding) or 4)Heavy Metal (alpine skis, randonee bindings, plastic boots). I plan on racing in the Open Category in either running shoes, probably my Brooks Cascadia's, or in a pair of Stabilicers.
