Pooh Hill 8.5K Snowshoe Scramble

An acidotic RACING Snowshoe Race
Race #1 of the Granite State Snowshoe Series
Production Help by 3C Race Productions LLC
Results by Yankee Timing 978-430-5669
The Granite State Snowshoe Series debut event was held under sunny skies on a clear and crisp 5 degree
day, but it didn't stop 75 snowshoers from trekking to King Pine Ski Resort in East Madison, New
Hampshire to challenge Pooh Hill --- and Pooh Hill won as many shoers were reduced to a walk on the
long trek to the peak - this author included.
Despite the torture Pooh Hill inflicted upon us, we're all sure to return as acidotic RACING put on
another great event --- beautiful and challenging course, great compeition, racing gloves for all
entrants, and an incredible raffle featuring a pair of Kathoola Snowshoes, 6 cases of RedHook Beer,
Road ID Gift Certificates, sweatshirts, t-shirts, sunglasseses, and more.
Frequent racer (roads, cross country, track, mountains, snowshoes, unicycles, etc.) Jim Johnson of the
CMS Polar Bears romped to victory in a blistering 44:04 - close to an 8-minute per mile pace. Johnson
took the lead in the first 15 milliseconds of the race and never let up. home team acidotic RACING's
Steve Wolfe quickly set his sights on 2nd place and took the silver in 47:27 with Dungeon Rock Racing's
Christopher Smith shoeing in for the Broze.
Smith's teammate Crystal Anthony was close behind in 4th place to take the women's title. acidotic's
Leslie Dillon and Amber Cullen followed in 2nd and 3rd place.
acidotic RACING combined speed up front with 4 shoers in the top 10 and 16 shoers overall to take the
team title over Dungeon Rock Racing, with BB and N out of Boston taking 3rd.
The New Hampshire snowshoe season continues over the next few weeks with 2 non GSSS events - the Beaver
Brook 5K in Hollis on the 17th and the Feel Good Farm 7K on the 24th - then quickly followed by race #2
in the Granite State Snowshoe Series, the Cobble Mountain Classic on the 31st. Cobble Mountain features
another killer climb. I can't wait...
