"You're evil!" Yeah - that's right. I am evil for inflicting Moose Mountain in Lyndeborough, NH
not once, but twice on the snowshoers at the first annual Feel Good Farm Snowshoe Race. At least,
according to one of the snowshoers who was shoeing only his second race ever. But somehow, after
the race, all the runners - even the one who called me evil, said they enjoyed the race course.
Go figure? Snowshoe racers must be crazy!
Crazy fast!!! That's the only way to describe Jim Johnson's incredible race --- beating runner up,
Rovert Jackman, by exactly 4 minutes. Jackman is one of Rhode Island's top runners and beating him
in any race is hard, yet Johnson took him down by 4 minutes. On the way to victory, Johnson had to
summit Moose Mountain twice --- 575 vertical feet of climbing in less than a mile each time! Tim
Cox took the bronze in his first ever snowshoe race and looks to be a force in the Granite State
Snowshoe Series next week at Cobble Mountain.
Dan Verrinton took the master's title, while Scott Mason outlasted Jim Hansen for the 50+ crown.
Diane Leveque raced to what might be her first ever overall victory and now holds the women's
course record at Feel Good Farm.
Ellen Tidd started out with plans for the full 8K, but one trip up Moose Mountain prompted her
to switch to the 4K, thus allowing her to take the overall title --- beating your truly who
raced the course by himself several hours before the rest of the field. I did race carrying
5 course marking signs and stopped along the way to plant them in the snow and several more
times to take some pictures, but still would have had a hard time breaking 30 minutes. Tidd's
clearly the champ here.
New Hampshire's snowshoe racing continues next weekend with the Cobble Mountain Classic --- the
toughest snowshoe race in New Hampshire and maybe all of New England. Also look for a couple of
more races on the NH snowshoe racing schedule --- the Joppa Hill Snowshoe Sprint in Bedford on
February 28 and one more race - still in the works - for early March.
