Wasatch Powder Keg Half Keg
I set a goal to finish in 2:30:00 and I came through the finish in 2:29:57. This SkiMo dealie is the hardest thing I've ever done and I am still trying to decide if I like it. The uphill part is great, but the downhills are downright frightening! The men's winner said one of the descents was the worst snow he has ever skied on and I am just glad I survived - there were bodies and skis everwhere and I only wiped twice.
I am pretty thrilled with how I did considering the 55K two weeks before and running and skiing yesterday. I only missed the podium by a few minutes and had I known I could actually do that well I could have pushed a little harder and rested the day before.
Plenty of food, beer, sun, and prizes after the event. Overall a super cool event!
