Great day for a snowshoe race. The Strider team - John Agosto, Dave Almand, Dave Merkt, Ginny Patsun, Vicki Quaglioroli and myself headed up to Albany, NY for what I believe is the largest snowshoe race in the northeast - 207 finishers.

Went out hard off the line in a loop around the ballfield to gain position before heading into the woods - a lot of loose powder flying... Passed by a couple guys about a mile in, then in a bit of a no man's land again between the leaders and the mid-packers. Around 2 miles in women's winner Amy Lane reeled me and we chatted briefly before she moved ahead. I managed to keep her in my sights for the second half and found I could close the gap on her on the hills and once we made the turn for the final couple hundred meters back to the school I really turned it on and managed to finish 2 seconds behind her in 15th place, 6th masters, 93.24pts

We had 4 Striders in the top 20 with two more solid mid-pack finishers - a great day all around!!

Run - Road (snowgaine geartest) 50:00 [3] 8.5 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: 340 ORoc 2010

Cracked open the wayback machine and dragged out some of my gear from 20+ years ago.

Neoprene socks fit in the O-Rocs?
Backcountry gaiters still functional?
Lifa Zip T's - one still fits, one handed down to Jackson
Goretex Mitts?

Out the door for a run and the snow is knee deep and piling up fast, so opted to slog out and do a road run instead as the snow was only 3-4 inches deep on somewhat recently plowed roads. Slow going, tough with blowing snow - but got the job done.

Neoprene socks/gaiter/O-Roc combo worked well.
Winter mitts too warm for vigorous exercise, but will be good to have on hand for slower periods with cold fingers.
New jacket rocked once again.
Need to insulate the 'important parts' a bit better... Good thing this was only an hour.
