Snowshoe stampede!

Prospect Mountain 5.8 mile snowshoe race

I was excited when I’d heard that Tim Van Orden (TiVO) would be hosting a third race at the Prospect Mountain XC ski area.   Not only is the venue fantastic with a ton of groomed and single-track trails, but the also have warm indoor facilities and seem to genuinely enjoy having snowshoe racers tromping around.  The fact that the WMAC Snowshoe series is based on your best six races and I had five race made going to Prospect a given.  Some quick calculations and it looked like the series would come down to me and teammate Tim Mahoney.  It didn’t really matter what places Tim or I got but who placed in front of whom.

I arrived at Prospect and found it to be sunny and comfortable (28 degrees at 8:15am).  Soon after arriving I bumped into Greg Hammett.  We headed out on the course (in running shoes) and ran the last mile or so with teammate Ross Krause.  It looked like a decent field, with stalwart Ken Clark and pretty much all of the WMAC regulars.  Right before the start I realized Tim was not present and basically I needed to finish to wrap up the series.  That was a relief, my back was killing from shoveling and I was pretty beat up from the Granite State Snowshoe champs from the day before.  TiVO filmed us all dancing around prior to the start.  He wanted some unusual stuff for his presentation to USSSA.  Bob Dion and TiVO are hoping to bring the 2014 national snowshoe champs to Prospect.

We headed off a little after 10:30 in just about ideal conditions.  There was some single-track early on and I found myself in 6^th place with Greg and Ross in front and pulling away.  I didn’t panic, it was very early and my legs were heavy from the previous day’s effort.  Once we got off the single-track I moved into 3^rd place and as I watched Greg and Ross disappear I figured 3^rd would be the place for me.  At 10 minutes into the race I was 20 seconds behind the leaders and just starting to find a rhythm.  Soon after that we hit the first sustained climb and a long single-track section.  The snow was deep!  We just had TiVO’s post-holes to follow.

I immediately fell, and then fell again.  Ugh, I cursed and got going as quickly as possible.  Soon after that I caught Greg who stepped aside to let me through.  Once we hit the snowmobile trail the climb continued but the footing was better.  I caught Ross on this section right at the 20 minute mark.  I fell again and Ross said something like “keep doing that” with a chuckle.  Very slowly I pulled away, but Ross was tenacious.  I figured I needed to out climb him and Greg and that both of them could roll on the downhills and take the lead.  I pushed as hard as I could but glanced back at the top (about 31 minutes) and Ross was right there.

The next part of the course was probably the most fun; we came bounding down on single-track with snow about 3 feet deep.  It was a blast to come flying down and zigzagging through the woods.  The fun didn’t last long as we then had a staircase like climb that was just plain mean!  I heard TiVO yelling for Ross and thought he said “2k of downhill from here”.  I went as hard as I could on the downhill and took a peak back at 45 minutes and didn’t see Ross.  I didn’t ease up but the few “bumps” that were left really hurt.  Greg told me later that he stopped and yelled some unprintable stuff about TiVO’s “all downhill” comments.  The very final downhill powder stretch was a hoot; we did a zigzag down the final slope and into the finish chute.  I certainly was surprised and pleased to hold off Ross and Greg.

I was beat and glad to be done, but this course was probably my favorite this year.  There was a little bit of everything but a lot of tough slog, which is my kind of snowshoe race.  Congrats to Ken Clark who passed 1,000 points for the season at Prospect, Jessica Northan who took home the WMAC series title, and Laurel Shortell who kept her incredible streak alive (she finished all 16 series races this year).  See you all next year!

Prospect Mountain snowshoe race

After I cancelled the Northfield race, all of the forecasts suddenly changed and the Blizzard headed our way.  Go figure.  Then teammate Tim Van Orden stepped up and got together a race at Prospect Mountain (Woodford, VT).  I had planned on going on Saturday afternoon and helping TiVO with course marking but the driving ban wasn’t lifted until 4 PM which was too late to be useful.

 

I drove out early and gave myself extra time in case the roads were a mess.  There were no issues and TiVO arrived just after I pulled into the parking lot.  We gathered some flagging and headed out to finish marking (Tim had spent some hours the day before doing a large amount of the course).  It was 9 below zero when we started but didn’t seem so bad once we got going.  It was fun to have some time to chat while checking things out.  The course was terrific, a great mix of groomed wide trail and powdery single-track.  There was a ton of snow and we also had a good combination of climbing and breaks (over 800’ of climb).  After 1:28 we were back at the finish line with time in hand before the race.

 

I changed into dry gear and headed out for an easy mile on the road, then put on my snowshoes and did another mile on the course.  The snow was loose and the running was going to be SLOW.  A little less than 50 people lined up and blasted out at the start.  The first ½ mile was mostly flat and wide so passing was not an issue.  Teammates Greg Hammett and Tim Mahoney took it out.  Greg used his sub-2:00 half-mile speed to forge a big lead early.  I tucked in behind Tim (actually I just tried to hang on to Tim, I was already tired…maybe from the 1:50 of running I did prior to the race).  By about a mile Greg had forged a solid 30-45 second lead and I was starting to get into a rhythm, so with a call-out of “on your left” I went around Tim.  Soon after I took a spill, maybe I was pushing too hard?

 

I could see Greg up ahead and the long steady climb was much to my liking.  The snow was powdery and deep and my favorite kind of SLOW racing.  It is amazing to be all-out and running over 10 minutes per mile!  Having Greg in front was a great motivator, I worked on closing the gap and by the summit I had him only 8 seconds ahead.  He gained some ground on the ½ mile of downhill but I closed it up a bit in another deep powder section.  It was a big advantage knowing the course and being able to pay out my effort.  I gave it my all and closed back to within 12 seconds with a mile to go.  Unfortunately for me, that last mile was almost all downhill.  Greg immediately disappeared from sight and ended up putting 1:03 on me during that final mile.  Behind us Tim stayed tough and held off a hard charge from Jeff Dengate, which gave CMS a sweep of the podium places.

 

Greg and I did another mile out/back on the course cheering people on, and then called it a day.  TiVO did a heck of a job putting on another great race at Prospect.  Hopefully he’ll get the bid and be hosting the snowshoe national championships there in 2014.

Prosepect Mountain snowshoe

My back (SI joint) has been feeling pretty lousy for about a month so I’ve curtailed my racing.  I haven’t cut back on my training and I’m logging between 90-100 miles per week.  I decided to test things out with a shorter snowshoe race at Prospect Mountain.  The “I Love Woodford” race had insurance issue but Bob Dion and Tim Van Orden stepped up and put on a great race at Prospect Mountain which is only a few miles further down the road.

I went up to Montpelier the day before and hung out with Eric and Murdoch, getting in a nice run around the capital on the packed snow trails behind the state house.  On Sunday morning I was greeted to a few inches of snow and the first 60 miles of driving was a bit nerve wracking.  150 miles and 3 hours later I arrived at the Prospect Mountain XC ski area.  They have a great set up with indoor facilities, a major bonus for WMAC snowshoe races!

I got to the race 2 hours early and headed out with Tim and a few other helpful souls to set the course.  We didn’t have enough flagging and by 2 miles we were nearly out, so TiVO decided to modify the course at the end.  This knocked the distance down from 3.1 miles to 2.6 miles.  There was a fair amount of climb and even some stretches of powder (2-3’ deep) which would challenge everyone.  I don’t think anyone complained that we ran ½ mile less than advertised.  After an hour of marking the course I got another ½ mile in then changed into my racing gear.  I headed out for another 1.5 miles to get loose and felt reasonably good.  The field was pretty strong with Tim jumping in despite the pressures of race directing, Josh Ferenc showed up although he was just coming back from a long illness.  Jeremy Drowne (a top NY snowshoe racer) and Steve Dowsett (who won the Turner snowshoe race the day before) made for a solid group.

I’m glad I previewed the course; it would have been a lot harder if you didn’t know how much climb you had and when you’d get a break.  Josh took it out on the first downhill and I went with Jeremy as we started the first little climb.  I made a bigger move on the first long-ish climb and found myself pulling away.  I was a bit nervous about getting in the lead that early as there would be some tough powder that would be better met as the second or third person through.  I also knew my strength would be the climbing and the other guys would close on the downhill sections and the groomed trails.  I pushed as hard as I could throughout.  With about ½ mile to go I checked and couldn’t see second place.  I kept the tempo as fast as I could and crossed the line in first for my first victory of 2013 and my first WMAC series race win since March of 2011. 

Hopefully my SI will not be screaming at me because I’m looking forward to a full snowshoe calendar this year!

Mount Ascutney

The Mount Ascutney hill climb was the final race in the USATF New England Mountain series again this year.  I headed up this Saturday for my ninth time taking on this “hill” which is very much like running half of Mt Washington.

I met up with CMS teammate Tim Mahoney and we both set up camp and then headed up the road for a nice easy preview run of the course.  We reached the parking lot (where the finish line is) in 42 minutes.  After a couple of minutes checking out the view we headed back down.  It seemed an easy decision to pass on the additional 7/10ths of a mile (trail) up to the summit tower.  We ran down as easily as possible and hit the start line 35 minutes later. 

After a nice dinner with JJ at the local brew-Pub we hung out with Paul Kirsch (the Mountain series director) and Frank Holmes.  It made for a nice relaxing day.

I hit Dunkin’s early on race morn and then went through the usual pre-race prep.  We headed out for an easy 3 mile warm-up and then I changed into racing flats and headed out for another mile with strides.  I felt a bit flat (maybe from 18 on Friday and 16 on Saturday?), tired and a lot more nervous than “usual”.  I figured I had a shot at my 40+ PR and had splits to run right around 31:00.

The gun went off and it seemed like an all-out sprint for the first half-mile.  I found myself in 8^th very early on and in 6^th by about ½ mile in.  Double-J was way out in front with Philip Kreycik who I had run back-forth with for a good stretch at Loon Mountain.  They were flying!  I settled in behind Tim Mahoney, Ross Krause, and Todd Callaghan.  The pace seemed to become a bit more realistic after ½ mile and by the mile (8:00) I was back in the group.  I moved ahead a little later after we passed Kreycik who was walking.

I tried to put the pressure on as I moved to the front and Ross responded and stayed with me.  We slowly gapped the other guys as JJ disappeared ahead of us.  Ross and I were dead even at 2 miles (8:43/16:43) which was a couple of seconds under the pace I’d hoped for.  I knew I’d need to gap Ross soon as there were some flatter and even FLAT stretches later in the race.  Ross put the pedal down on the flatter stuff and pulled away.  He had a couple of seconds on me at 3 miles (8:39/25:22) and I was definitely hurting.

The last half-mile of the race has a couple of tough climbs and I focused on reeling Ross in.  With about 2 minutes to go I passed him and pushed for all I was worth.  I was more interested in the time than beating Ross but I’ll take any opportunity to move up a place.  I ended up crossing with my fastest last .7 and masters best of 31:04.  Double-J finished exactly one minute ahead of me and Ross rolled in 9 seconds behind me. 

CMS had a fine day with four in the top six and 6 in the top 13.

Sleepy Hollow Mountain race

Earlier this year I was having a lot of trouble deciding if I wanted to do ANY mountain running in 2012.  After hurting my calf at Mt Washington last year (and re-injuring it multiple times) I wasn’t sure if I wanted to chance getting injured again.  Somewhere along the line I changed my mind and did a 540 (a 360 then a 180) and decided that not only did I want to mountain race this year, but I want to attempt to do the entire USATF New England Mountain Series along with the National Championships (Mt Washington).  This weekend was the kick-off to the season here in New England.

I headed up on Saturday and Eric (Morse) and I grabbed Murdoch (his dog) and headed over to Huntington Vermont for another look at the course. 

Guess who is on the dog run!

The course was very well marked and we had no trouble navigating it.  We took it nice and easy and I just tried to picture how the race might play out.  The first climb looked fast (too fast for me) and the first descent looked to be the only one that was “tricky” with some of the steepest and roughest downhill.  The second climb was the longest and steadiest and the downhill looked to be smokin’ fast.  The final climb was tough!  My goal would be to move up and hopefully run that final up/down fast enough to pass some people.

We headed back on race morning and it was already hopping!  Great crowd!  Always fun to see all the familiar faces from the series.  I was mildly surprised to see teammates Jim Johnson and Kevin Tilton (I thought both would not be at the race).  Then I saw Michael Quintal, Tim Mahoney, Ross Krause, and Martin Tighe.  Wow, the CMS Mountain running team was out in full-force.

We headed out onto the last 1.5 miles of the course and everyone got a chance to see that last 1.5 during our 3 mile warm-up.  I switched into my Inov-8 shoes and headed out for another mile and some strides.  I felt pretty good, but a bit nervous.  The good field and worries about my calf had me on edge.  Of course that all disappeared as we took off up the hill.  I moved into the top 15 and felt like I was moving pretty quickly.  It takes me a few minutes to find a rhythm and as the field strung out in front of me I found my pace and settled in.  I only passed one guy on the climb (the very early leader) and hit the top of the 300 foot climb in 14^th place.

Chasing down the 6 guys in front of me at 2 miles

There was a group just a few seconds ahead of me that included Eli Enman and teammates Michael Quintal and Tim Mahoney.  I wanted to keep them in sight on the tricky descent and worked my way down the 500 foot drop (as they slowly pulled away).  The group of 6 guys was 10 seconds ahead when I passed the 2 mile mark.  I felt really good when we started to climb again and kept looking ahead.  I reeled in the group early in the climb but Mike had pulled ahead and for the first time I saw teammate Tim Van Orden up ahead.  I knew both of them had much better leg speed than me, so I’d need to really work the climb.

By the top of the 500 foot climb I’d caught Mike and TiVO and gapped them a little.  The short little single-track section had TiVO catching back up and then he really opened it up when we got on the wide trail.  I knew this would be a spot where I could air it out as the grade wasn’t too steep and the footing was quite good.  I worked as hard as I could and surprised TiVO (and myself) by staying with him on the 300 foot drop.  We came through four miles in the meadow where the finish was stride-for-stride.

My goal now was to get in front of Tim before the single-track climb and hopefully pull away during the next 300 feet of climbing.  I went by him just before the single-track and tried to work the uphill.  I gapped him but was surprised when I heard Mike catching up.  He had a strong final climb and I moved out of his way as we crested the final big climb.  We had a little single-track left and then we were back on the wide trail for the final mile to the finish.  On a little uphill I threw caution to the wind and put all I had into gapping him.  Then it was some very fast downhill running with 300 feet of drop until just before the finish.  I hoped to break away, but could still hear MQ back there (the wet ground splashing was a great give-away to how close he was).  I chugged up the final hill and then “went to the arms” to hold him off as we charged into the finish in 7^th and 8^th with TiVO a little bit back.

I was very happy with the race, I’m not very good at up/down courses and I felt I gave a good effort over this course.  It doesn’t help my lack of confidence for Wachusett (there will be some VERY lousy footing on that course), but I’ll keep my #1 goal in mind: Don’t get hurt!

USATF New England 10 mile championship

My training for the last 10 weeks was specifically aimed at being ready for this race.  I've been racing a lot and doing some solid (for me) track workouts.  I think the biggest thing I've been lacking has been long runs, although I've been averaging 85 miles per week I've rarely run longer than 5 miles in any given run.  I tried to take it easy this week and oddly was not really feeling "up" for the race on Sunday morning.

Dan, Dave La, and I headed out to Amherst together and after gathering our numbers we headed out for an easy 2+ mile warm-up.  Man, everywhere you looked there was a CMS runner (and I could only name a couple of them!), always great to see such a good turnout.  We switched into racing flats and headed to the line.  I was feeling a lot more in the zone at this point, the worries fading away (worried about my calf) as the crowd gathered on the line.  I had a very specific time goal in mind but was also looking at this as a race where I'd try to be aggresive and run with some 40+ guys who've always been ahead of me.  I figured out my splits based on the last 5 times I'd raced at Amherst and came up with a pretty solid projection of what it would take to run 57:36.  That'd be a 2 minute PR, but I felt that was at the very edge of what I could run if everything fell into place. 

I headed out cautiously over the speed bumps and the first couple of turns in the soemtimes scary first mile.  I looked around and it seemed like I was runnign with the guys I should be with, but I was 5 seconds slower than projected.  I ran the second mile very aggresively, really using gravity to my advantage on the long downhill stretches (but also thinking about how I'd be climbing back up them later in the race).  The wind was really strong so I worked my way up to a big group in front of me.  That group had teammate Joe Shairs in it and Tim Van Orden was in the front of the pack of about 10.  After we turned off the main road they began to string out and I tried to work the 1/2 mile climb to the 3 mile mark.

Soon after 3 I could see teammate George Adams coming back to me and I worked to get up with him.  Mostly because he is so big he'd make a great block in the wind :-)  We ran together for a bit and I pulled ahead.  Soon after 1/2 way (28:50) I was passed by a couple of guys who were flying.  They were great to work with and helped me move up through the pack.  I lost sight of Tim but around 8 miles I noticed that Greg Putnam (40+ CMS teammate) wasn't too far ahead.  I was working back and forth with Ben Ndaya (RUN) but we just didn't seem to gain any ground.  The last mile was tough as it is essentialy 3/4 of a mile uphill and today it'd be straight into the teeth of the wind (it was my worst mile of the day).  I kept it together as best I could but 3 or 4 guys (including George Adams) blew by me in the final 1/4 mile.

I was very excited to see the clock and break my stretch goal with a 57:15 for 8th place in the 40+ (and 4th place on the CMS masters team).  It was a solid day for the CMS crew!  Now I've gotta get in shape and be ready for New Bedford (1/2 marathon) in three weeks...
