Running 1:10:00 [3]
Early start and up to perisher for my first ever snowshoe race. Was a cracker day so broke out the shorts and strapped on the hire snowshoes.
The course was 6laps of a hilly 2 and a bit km loop. Paul cuthbert cleared out from the start which left tom brazier and I to battle it out for 2nd. I was struggling on the first lap and stacked it on the first hill but pulled up to tom on the big downhill and then got ahead and built up a little lead.
This got blown away when I had to stop and adjust the snowshoes to stop them rubbing on my ankle and Achilles and this process repeated several times which was frustrating.
In the last few laps I got into a bit more of a rythm and started to feel like I had it worked out which was good.
Great fun day beautiful weather and top event.
