Canadian National Snowshoe Championships
Denholm QC
24/24 66.9%
Congratulations to Alex Michel and Sophia Tsouros.
Was this a workout? Despite the -13° temperature, I raced with hat off, gloves off and sleeves rolled up. Yet all that effort carried me only to finish last. Being without any cardio investment any more, I expected trouble on the final lap. I lost two positions in the final 4k but at least that many 10k racers didn't even start the last lap. I must really really love this sport to keep coming back at the risk of last-place finishes.
My downhill technique is still strong but because of the knee I just can't invest the cardio training to get me beyond an hour. If I would just give up and race the 5k events, I'd place just fine.
The Dual-Tracs came out of retirement for a great race. The first lap had an interesting error where the entire pack went straight up a cliff face on all-fours only to scamper back down the rocks looking for trail flags.
