White Grass 5k Snowshoe Race 1-22-12

Dan Lehmann — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:02:07 +0000

This year it was one of those January weeks when some of those degrees that went south in November crept back up to the mountains to see what was shakin’. This ocasionally happens and brings various feelings; an early taste of spring, a joyfull mid-winter reprieve, less than ideal skiing or snowshoeing, or a muddy mess. For the the handful that ran yesterday the smiles lead me to believe there was still plenty of fun and beauty enjoyed.

You must see this excellent film. Get quiet, get comfortable and enjoy a twelve and a half minute daydream to the Far East. The Himalayan 100. Very good work Joel.

Warm and Sunny at Frozen Sasquatch training run????

runningsasquatch — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 12:42:59 +0000

We had about a dozen runners show up for the 3rd annual Frozen Sasquatch Training run. The weather was in the 60′s and not a snowflake in sight! We even had an aid station with snicker bars, water, HEED, and banana nut bread, and a fire in the fireplace. Thanks to the Yarborough family for being an aid station at mile 8.5.

Sidenote: The last two training runs have been 60-70 degrees and sunny, only to find race day in the twenties with snow……Is this a sign of whats to come???

At Bee Run aid station Nathan grills the perfect runner quesadilla. No one noticed he used the bottom side of the heirloom griddle, but a few wondered why ERIE was branded on the tortilla!
