Snowshoe #7 - Horse Hill - 2.20.10

I got lost. I missed a left turn on the power line road and continued on ahead. One of the racers in the pack with me finally said "hey, i don't see any tracks ahead of us." An extremely disappointing moment, eclipsed only by turning around to see a dozen other racers bang the left and take the lead we had built on them. More on this later. Michael and the crew from 3c Race Productions put together another great event by shoveling snow onto the thin parts of the trail and supplying plenty of cornbread and kale soup after the fact. This was a GSSS event and the leader thus far held his own. Jim Johnson (1st/27:07) was in attendance so the outcome was somewhat predictable as it became a battle for second place among the high seeds. Acidotic teammates Ann Rasmussen (women's winner/33:59),Steve Wolfe, Richie Blake and Michael Amarello rounded out our contingent amongst the 46 that showed for the event. I was able to recover some ground after my mishap in the woods and finished a dismal 32nd in 40:40. After the race it was back to the house to shower, stretch and grab a quick nap before the nightcap. Next up the Kingman Farm 5K in Madbury.
