Mike W., Eileen W and myself are officially qualified for the USSSA National Snowshoe championship being held on March 6 near Tully, New York. Mike finished 4th (1:03:54) in his age group (top 5 automatically qualify), Eileen was 2nd (1:15:22)and I was 1st (58:38) among USSSA members. Lou gave a valiant effort, but finished seventh. You can also qualify on time, finishing with 130% of the winning time for your age group, but Lou picked a tough and fast age group to compete in.
Almost 100 snowshoers competed in the 10k at Mendon Ponds on Sunday, January 17. There seemed to be a good representation from around New York state. The warm spell threatened to make the race a running trail run, but fortunately there was just enough snow left on the hilly course to allow us to use snowshoes.
Jan, a past qualifier, opted to save her achilles tendon for summer triathlons and did the smart thing by resting.
