Snowshoeing 8:01:00 [2]
Snogaine Day 1 with Browner. Haven't done this race before, but have been very curious as to what the fuss is all about (ie. why half of the registration list of a small orienteering event staged 5 hours from the GTA comes from our Ontario AR community!) Turns out it's a very fun event, in a long-slog-in-snowshoes kind of way. Browner and I hit all but one of our 23 intended CP's on the day, although we cut it a tiny bit too close at the end, giving us an extra 3 minutes to sleep in on Sunday (penalty minutes are multiplied by three and served at race start the next day).
Browner's discovery of the new Tailwater Lodge in nearby Altmar was the highlight of the trip - great rates (thanks to DD11), great restaurant and very plush beds made for a downright luxurious stay. If we only didn't have to get up and race all over again the next day... :)
