RACE NOTES

The snowy day predicted for the Heart Throb Ski For Fortitude (42’d) didn’t materialize and the advertised 42K was actually 44K so it turned into a long but relatively decent weather tour. There were 6 inches of new snow on the ground in the morning that Kenton and Tom packed. Then Kenton set track ahead of the skiers (thanks, Kenton!). The new track was relatively slow for the striders and the skating was definitely slow, so we all had to work a lot harder than we did for the Big Bottom 50. The skaters had had enough after 22K but the striders persevered skiing through a little fog, a little wind, a lot of fatigue, and a lot of beautiful winterland solitude. Too bad, it gave Kayla time to think about plans for the next marathon she‘ll challenge us with.
