TOTALLY take advantage and learn up. and throw off all of their results :) thanks for sharing the pics!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307937378956236480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28761726.post-35465781670869668042007-12-27T07:05:00.000-08:002007-12-27T07:05:00.000-08:00Hey Tom!

Well there are a couple major brands of snowshoes out there and they have all wised up and are pretty competitive in regard to how minimal they can make their shoes, which is a good thing. I know Hexum is sponsored by Atlas and they have a very minimal shoe now. I think I have the same ones you have from talk last year. Personally I would not use those for racing, but they are still quite useful. Redfeather makes a really minimal shoe, as well as a company from Vermont, in fact that guy was there racing at USSSA last year who makes the shoes, but I can't remember his last name, which is the name of the shoes. The last time I checked the rules last year on USSSA website I am pretty sure the shoe size has to be no less than 8". However the key is to tailor your shoe to not have all those damn straps and to just bolt in a pair of light running shoes. Unfortunately you can't really just buy a pair from the store that does not have straps, so therefore you have to go to the source and get the stock models. Around here there is an outdoor sports shop, where the guy sells snowshoes. He gets blank stocks as well and he will be bolt your shoes on them as well. I am sure you guys definitely have this possibility in your neck of the woods. It will definitely make a world of difference running with this setup and much more enjoyable! than having to run in clunky snowshoes. However if you run a race on an ungroomed course those Atlas shoes you have could come in handy, so don't ditch them.<BR/><BR/>BTW I was wondering if you could contact me via email on some info about Waldo for 2008. I would like any info on good camping areas near the course, as I plan to be out there 2 weeks before the race as I would like to at least get one round of course knowledge in. Maybe we could get in some running on it, if you're not busy.<BR/><BR/>happy holidays!<BR/>enjoy a cup a DEcaf (:WynnManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160579726657693895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28761726.post-56665565350813356642007-12-14T15:27:00.000-08:002007-12-14T15:27:00.000-08:00that's cool!

That said, I'll have a Grande Americano with light room!<BR/><BR/>Get that BP and Chlorestoral under control dude! I don't have to tell you the long term effects that High BP can have on the elasticity of your heart.<BR/><BR/>Carrots are almost as good a chocolate, right?<BR/><BR/>If I participate in CCC next year it will only be as a pacer. Rob and I are scheming up a 100 mile race to be held on Tiger Mt. We would have 12 Summits (50K) 24 Summits (100K) and 36 Summints (100 Miles). The kicker is we are going to promote a Washington Triple Slam with CCC, 36 Summits, and Plain. It's all in the pie in the sky stage right now but we are doing some research and processing our conversations from today's run. Know anyone who might be interested?<BR/><BR/>EricJourney to a Centumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294889164059934956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28761726.post-60422894733978964202007-12-01T19:37:00.000-08:002007-12-01T19:37:00.000-08:00Tom,Congrats on getting picked!Tom,<BR/><BR/>Congrats on getting picked!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328667395623963868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28761726.post-35104303717395888272007-12-01T10:18:00.000-08:002007-12-01T10:18:00.000-08:00No caffeine?

I don't drink coffee, but I do drink tea - less caffiene, but still caffiene. I also eat eggs and cheese, but no other dairy or any type of meat or seafood. And, I eat chocolate. <BR/><BR/>I hope that the changes help with that cholesterol! I'd love to be part of a study like that - lots of good info to be had.Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28761726.post-791513517098279092007-11-28T07:50:00.000-08:002007-11-28T07:50:00.000-08:00The pictures are too cool.
