snowshoe weekend

Snowshoe Relay

Highland Forest, Fabius, New York, was the scene of big time snow shoein’ this weekend. Saturday was the National Championships which were extremely awesome. A beautiful day, a tough course, big time athletes from all over the US. Made for a great event. Of special note was the last 300 yards of the 10k race was designed by the famous Marquis De Sade as it was a ridiculous up hill to the finish, with many casualties along the way.

Sunday was the team relay event 4 x 1 mile, entered by members of BTB Athletics; leading was Fitz, handing off to Luke, then to me and finally Randy, after a bit of back and forth we ended up mid pack out of 19 teams. We developed a great respect for those who choose to run and sprint in loose powder snow. Not to mention the scenery at Highland forest was exceptional this weekend.

Next year, members of the BTB Athletics will make a concerted effort toward qualifying for the championship event.

Also, here is an excellent write up on this weekends Snowshoe National 10k by Jim Johnson, check it out!
