The whole winter almost got by without me racing a
snowshoe race. The New Hampshire and Northeast Championship event was hosted by
Acidotic Racing on the trails next to Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough.
Several gorgeous views of Lake Winnipesaukee were offered along the single
track. Several CMS men and women were in attendance which was nice to see. As soon as the race
started, it funneled into the single track. I made sure Todd Callaghan and Alex
Hall got in front of me before it tightened up seconds after the start. If one were to step outside of that single track that was two
feet wide - would be a risk as you would post hole and lose balance. This was
the case throughout the race that was advised as being 6.1 miles. My position
as it turned out was perfect. It gave me cushion between Alex in front of me
and any pressure behind which was not an issue until late in the race. I passed one person before 2 miles as he stepped aside putting me behind Alex Hall who was dominating the down hills. David
Martino caught me at 4.7 miles and held me off at the end by five seconds. It
was nice to get out on the trails and feel the quads and lungs burn a bit. CMS got top spot on the team podium and several raffle prizes were
handed out as Acidotic put on another classy event.
