Snowshoeing to CPs we missed yesterday. Drizzle and rain made for heavy snow. Left a treat for Hermes on Getawaystix's car.

Looking at SSR results if we had stuck to Patrick's plan we would have won overall. That makes the sore legs from all that breaking trail feel even worse . :-(

Ah well the 'choose your Adventure' format is always a shoulda, coulda woulda kinda race.

Event: Snowshoe Raid Adventure Run
 

Snowshoe Raid Adventure Run with Anvil on Team Temporary Foreign Worker. So much fun. Great new area at Pretty River and 113 teams! Anvil had snowshoe issues but ran well despite flying in from Oz the night before. Despite the snowshoe issues we were doing well until the Matrix. Griz and I broke trail into 61 and then again from 61 to 60 which absolutely killed me given how deep the snow was. Part way along our trek of deep, deep snow we picked up Wil Smith. Chuckled how three former NorAm champions got so unlucky. Also made it less frustrating knowing it wasn't just our team that 'got matrixed'. By the time I got out of that valley of deep deep snow my knee locked up running on the road and we ended up being overtime. Net result was -20 points in the last 75 minutes. Faile. Being more conservative would have been better but the powder snow run downhill into 61 was awesome. Enjoyed racing with Patrick but we were no match for The Angels. 4th overall. Well done AG! And KatieMac. I think Team Temporary Foreign Worker may have cracked the top 30. Yikes.

Already looking forward to next year's race. If you haven't raced in DontGetLost Adventure Runnings Snowshoe Raid make sure you add it to your race schedule next year.

next up is the Stars WAR with AG!

SSR tmrw. New shoes, new snowshoes, new water belt. All of the above never tested in training. So I clearly didn't listen to Bash and Bent's talk back in December about testing eqpt before racing. Serves me right then if something goes wrong.

C • What could go wrong? 2

Legs (and knees) sore and quite tired overall. Time to taper.

HammerFIT! (40min) #noturbo (wpu 9, 9, 6) followed by weights circuit (15min) and row/erging (10min). Finished off with some stretching and rolling then a sauna. Great start to a busy day.

waterfront trail from Westdale to X League and back again with theGriz

Fun X-League race hosted by Meghan. Pushed a little too hard and now don't feel too well (Tum Tum Tum Tums....). AG! may have followed me and passed me in the finish chute. Ended up 4th place behind theGriz, Danish Dynamite and AG!

Really beat up and tired following a good 9 days of training. Probably should taper for SSR but for whatever reason I'm enjoying the training.

C • Just enjoying the training 3
