Last Saturday was the first ever Westbrook Snowshoe Race as part of the Dion Eastern Ontario Series. The morning of the race the skies had finally cleared after a huge snowstorm. The trails were very deep with fresh powder, which made for challenging but fun conditions. Unfornately the same snow was still being cleared off of many roads, so some racers were unable to get to the race.
It was a chilly morning but we all warmed up well once we got to work racing. I liked the conditions, and that everyone got to experience some deeper snow than we have had the past few years in this area. Going into the day I hadn't really felt like racing, but once I was a couple of km into it I started feeling really good and ended up being really happy I did it. You just never know.
Go here for a race recap, photos and full results.
Next race in the series is the
Batawa Frozen Ass this Sunday the 17th, followed by the
Switzerville Red Barn season finale on February 24th.

You looked strong! Nice to get a good series of races in this winter.
I think you forgot to mention that you won too.
I linked to the results, and I also have a race list to the right.
Thanks, it was fun. Nice to be racing more.
Looked like it was a great day for snowshoeing. Congrats on your win.
