1st Annual Greylock Glen 3.5-Mile Snowshoe Race

January 22nd, 2000 - Adams,  Massachusetts

Assisted my fantastic friend PH with Race Directing duties at the first official Greylock Glen Snowshoe Race at the Mount Greylock State Reservation, in the Adams Glen...  part of the WMAC Dion Snowshoe Series!

The event had 35 starters and finishers, despite -8 temperatures and 20 mph - 40 mph wind gusts.  Somehow, despite the weather reports being very accurate, about a dozen people showed up "day-of" to register and race.  I managed a 6th place during the event.

8:00 p.m., PH and I decided to snowshoe tomorrow's Greylock Glen race-course under the moonlight.  This was an experience that I doubt I will ever forget…  wind blowing snow so hard we could barely see in spots…  everything lit up so brightly we thought it was snowmobile traffic (yet only the moon)…  and the cold like I have never felt before (40 below with the wind chill)…
