Event: Stars Winter Adventure race
 

Out for a run before pre-natal classes. 10 cm of fresh powder on the ground for me to run through. In most places I was the first through it. I love running like this.

Out on the lake before heading home.

Leasurly snowshoe with Kristen.

My second ski of the year at the Frost center.

Trail run in Haliburton. Should have brought snowshoes as I had to turn back early on one trail as I was post holing the whole way.

Spin Class

Included some terrain running as I did a few loops in the park.

Endurance Intervals
8 min on, 2 min rest, 3 loops
Each loop included 4 hill climbs in the park.

Rest of the run and time inbetween intervals.

Out planning the Stars Thomass with Blair.

Cruising around the park. Hammies are feeling extremely tight right now.

C • Hey Tim! Just wondering if ... 6

I decided early in the winter that I really wanted to try doing a pure snowshoe race. You always see them in the US, or up in Ottawa, but I'm not willing to drive that far just for the race. So when I saw that the Yeti was holding a race in Collingwood I decided to give it a try even though I thought the race fee was a bit steep.

With Bill L. and Martin R on the start line I knew it was a race for third for me. Off the line another guy took off chacing them so I just tried to set a pace I thought I could hold for 10K, but still pushed me. Near the end of the first lap I caught site of the 3rd place male ahead by about 200 m. He was slowing so I thought I might have a chance. Near the start of the 2nd loop we had a big climb out of a valley. I was hoping here I might make up some time, but I think he saw me behind him and held the gap to the top. However 2-3 K later I was starting to get really close. Up another hill and I caught him and I made the decision to push the pace for another K knowing there was a hill coming up. At the top of that hill I turned and I'd put a gap on him. From there I just tried to hold on into the finish.

I really enjoyed the race and probably will look to do another one of these next year. 3rd overall and about 5-6 min behind Logie who took the win with a sprint finish.

Standard park run. Felt like spring out there this morning, very nice. This run would not have been possible without my new Salomon SpikeCross shoes. Thanks Salomon!
