Comments: Felt pretty in control the whole way. I was nervous to start out because it had been a while since I snowshoed last and was unsure of my pace, but once I got going I found my groove pretty easily. What would you do differently?: Not trip so much and tear up my ankle before the race even started!  Post race
Warm down: 15 minutes easy. I took my snowshoes off as soon as possible because my ankle was killing me and just ran 15 minutes easy on the road. What limited your ability to perform faster: One of the few races that I felt like I could have ran faster. I was kinda all by myself the second half of the race and being all alone on a twisty trail can make it hard to give that extra 110%. Event comments: Really well organized race, everything was on time, race was well marked and even two water stations in a 10k. The raffle at the end was great, and awards were nice. I can see this race growing in popularity, one of the nicest snowshoe races I have done and a national qualifier to boot. Last updated: 2014-01-22 12:00 AM

The usual, powerbar three hours before race with a cup of applesauce. Right before the race I had one powergel.
Warmed up with 20min with 5x(30sec race pace, 1:30 easy). At this point I realized it was going to be tough because ice formed a thin layer over snow. I kept breaking through the ice and my snowshoe would get stuck under a layer of ice causing me to fall. Fell 3 times just warming up and cut up my ankle to the point of bleeding before the race even started.
