I had programmed Beaver Brook down to 4 age groups since with 13 days notice I was only expecting 25 entrants max.

I look forward to trying one or two more this year and see if I can get that full experience you mention. I don't like the cold and I don't like hills, so Cobble Mountain sounds real fun! Hope I see you out there again. We have to do the 50 year old thing and show them we're not over the hill just yet.<BR/>The Dions look real nice, but I have to get my moneys worth out of the Tubbs first!<BR/>JimJim Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350710709762823429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577216999808543384.post-7277906586294684582009-01-21T12:11:00.000-05:002009-01-21T12:11:00.000-05:00Hey Jim,Just read you blog and what's up with that...Hey Jim,<BR/><BR/>Just read you blog and what's up with that 40 - 55 age category? You would think that turning 50 would get you something. <BR/><BR/>You're right about the Beaver Brook course not being representative of a typical snowshoe race course. I've found every other course has reduce me down to a snot bubble blowing, drooling, cow pie and I would end up walking some part of the mountain I was climbing. <BR/><BR/>Great job on your first snowshoe race. One thing is for certain, they hurt more then any type of race you'll ever do. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to miss this weekends race but will be at Cobble Mtn race. Notice the word Mtn in the name of the race, NOT GOOD!!! That was the first snowshoe race I ever did and it hurt like H3ll. I was using the same type of shoes as you the Tubbs racers. After I finished I looked around and noticed all the top guys were wearing Dion snowshoes. There is a reason...They are lighter and you can run in a more natural stride with them. <BR/><BR/>Good luck in your next race!Scotty "PHAT" Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463188078293211437noreply@blogger.com
