4 Mile Snowshoe Race
By:
Jeff Hattem
The race was tough....really tough. First time on snowshoes
all year. There was a lot of loose snow along with hard packed
groomed trails, and you really had to slog through it. Even
with all the trail running I just wasn't conditioned for it.
To make matters worse, there was another race that day and
it held down the field to 15. Our race had a bunch of top
dogs like Dave Dunham and Bob Dion. I did manage to better
my time by 10 minutes, but all that work got me a 13th place
finish.
I'll give Camp Saratoga a shot this Saturday. As in past years,
if I keep racing, I improve as the year goes on. It's too
bad this year got off to a late start.
