Another one from Short Track. These were a blast. 4 weekends (usually 3 for since I could never make it out the morning after St Paddys). Early season, 45ish minutes of redlined HR in sub freezing temperatures.

This is the my new favorite couple.

I do really miss these....I felt like they were my "ok, time to get my fat ass off the couch" events....soooo fun. They were a great work out...but usually ridiculous in some way (cold, snow, etc) and the racing was great.

yep showing up on a whim for the short track races in Feb/March 2017 with my 7 year old rockhopper on 26" wheels was my introduction to this group. even when it was 14F and/or snow on the trails. I was encouraged by this group and the kids I was coaching in NICA to give it a try.

Got 3rd place on my first ever race by default since the out of the 5 of us in my slow AF category, the other 2 DNF'd. 😛

would love to try that loop again some day.

Sadly, I am all-in for ski season now so these just won't happen in March again with me as the promoter. Also, I think the BSA is not really as open as it used to be for this sort of stuff.

Dunno, I did not know Chris at the time but as someone continuously struggling (and loosing) with my body weight I wanted to ask him how he lost that much weight...

@jShort I apologize for trolling your thread, I wasn't expecting it to go this way. @Pearl , dude WTF?!?!?

I still have my yellow water proof fart sack and that hat, but those days can't be recreated, and that's what makes them special.

Did the kit include a matching yellow hat? Somehow I have a mental picture of you wearing it at that race...
