Gary Robbins Event Report:
Ean Jackson did a great job of a post race report, and also as interim photographer. Please refer to the Club Fat Ass website.
First off, thank you to all participants and sponsors. We had organized snowshoes, car pooling, hot showers, free beer and great snow! The only thing left to chance were the road conditions to the trail head.
After Ean's family leaped from his 4x4 car as it slid backwards down the slope, we devised a new starting plan. We all parked 2k from the trail head and used that as our warm-up time.
There was nearly a meter of fresh snow in the week leading up to the event, and on top of that we were blessed with intermittent, albeit very intermittent, blue patches of sky.
I know everyone enjoyed themselves out there because not one person actually kept track of their running time! Listed below are the distances covered, with Red Heather being the 10k turn around and Elfin Lakes the 22k turning marker.
I look forward to hosting another CFA snowshoe event early next year. Hope to see you all out for that, and hope to see many of you out for The Yeti snowshoe races this winter.
Sincerely,
Gary Robbins, Club Fat Ass Event Host
