AM - Snow Leopard Dash rando/skimo event. Andrea and I were able to demo some Dynafit racing skis/boots, which made this extra fun. I was in the lead pack 30 minutes into the race and waiting to make a move when I had some equipment (skin) malfunction, and since I was on demo gear I didn't have my typical repair kit with me - I ended up having to DNF. Not really a bummer - I learned about a dozen valuable lessons and enjoyed being in the PDG setup. Andrea had some skin failure as well but still managed to finish, win some cash (which symbolically is nice in a sport that is otherwise a giant black hole for money), and then later on she won the raffle for a pair of new racing skis! So I guess that means we're getting into SkiMo for real. Awesome day. Not to mention a nice little post-race ski tour up to Patsy Marley Peak.
PM - 8 miles. Shorts weather... typical mid-January thaw.
