Phatty and I had some lofty goals for this first day of the NY Snogaine. We planned a pretty long route but knew that we had to get out far quickly and then make our way back throughout the day. Last year we ended up hitting controls on the way out and then got stuck with an 8km road run to finish 33 minutes late.

It didn't take long for us to realize that we were the only ones who chose to go the way we did since we didn't see a soul and had to break our own trail for the first 6 hours of the day through deep snow. It was slow and tiring and before we knew it we had to head back while leaving a bunch of controls at the north end of the course.

That night we realized that the other Canadians had all put in a long day of road running but that it had paid off. They managed to get some of the controls at the top of the course that we couldn't make it to via the bush so we had some catching up to do.

Just Rocky, Phatty, and I tonight. It was cooooold so of course we lost a few due to that. Stayed on the roads tonight to try to avoid any sprained ankles before this weekend although I did manage a little roll on a trail between subdivisions. Phatty and I are so glad that we have this midweek group since we usually moan about going out and would most definitely not if it weren't for the group. Legs were a little sore from hills and holding warrior II in yoga for extended periods of time.

Warm up and cool down for a hill workout with Bash.

5 hills on the Deer Valley hill. I actually felt better this time than last time and I think we are going to have to ramp it up to 6 hills next week - ohhh I can hardly wait.
