Shrimp chowder and hot & spicy cider: now that's what I call post race refreshments. I may have missed qualifying for USSSA champs by one place and by less than four minutes.
I changed my plan to compete in the ski-O after the snowshoe race. In hindsight, I made the right choice. In the snow and the dark, the five-hour drive took six and a half. I visited the orienteering venue but the crowd was so huge I knew that they didn't need my support. Besides, my little bundle of American funds had run too low even to pay for the thruway.
Though I finished in the back of the pack, the snowshoe race took a lot out of me. I have definitely detrained.
With blackout in Orleans yesterday, I had doubted that I would be going out of town.
