soon

2 weeks away is the first snowshoe race of the season, and of the Beaver Creek series. It also happens to be cross state champs down at Xylinx outside of Boulder. For Helen, she will get rekindled with the "pain cave," as Dave Towlie would say. The few snowshoe races I've done were some of the hardest things around. No recovery, bouncing all over the place. But a great anaerobic workout for sure. And I think snowshoeing is great for building power in the quads and thighs. Normally, Alina and I hang out and watch Helen's races, and we'll hike up on course and check out Helen. I will have to do a few 5k events, just to remind myself of the pain.
