Completed my 8th Nipmuck Marathon today, as well as my 46th overall marathon.

Another drive out to Granville State Forest with Tippi to explore a bit.

Drove back out to the Barkhamsted Area, to connect Granville State Forest with Tunxis State Forest.

Tippi was along for the ramble, and a lenghy one it was!

7.3-Mile Snowshoe Race - February 20th, 2010
Mount Greylock State Reservation - Lanesborough, MA

I organized this one, borrowing from the original we did back in March of 2003.  This time, we kept "official" score.

61 completed route on a very deep snow day!  

Tippi and I completed the course in the dark, pre-race, checking all the markings and arrows before hand.

We really got our monies worth today (Tippi and I).  

A) We went over the course/markings for Saturday's Moby Dick event on Greylock for 7.5-miles.

B) We marked the Hallockville Orchard course for Sunday's event for an additional 3.5-miles.

Totaled up 11-miles for the day, and a few hundred miles of driving.
