Snowshoe race at Pine Ridge XC Ski Area in Poestenkill, NY. Advertised as being 6.2 km, so the end came a lot sooner than I expected (not that I would've paced any differently). All on groomed ski trails but footing was a bit soft, so pretty hard work. Gently climb for the first km or so, then rolling hills and finally back down to the finish. Good temperature for racing at about 28F. Finished 20th out of ~51. Most of the usuals from the WMAC snowshoe racing crowd were there.

On snowshoes in the back yard (and a couple of neighboring ones). Figured I'd better do some snowshoe training before I race tomorrow. About 4-5" from Thursday's storm so no issues with breaking trail. About 32F.
