First Race of 2011

Audrey and I are doing our first official race of the 2011 season this Saturday in Park City, UT. It's a short race (5k) but it's still a race!!! I am excited just to get to go out and compete. It has been quite a while since we've done our last "real" race. The race has 2 categories: snowshoe or regular shoe. We chose the regular shoe since we've yet to run in snowshoes, and we heard from a chiropractor that snowshoes can wreak havoc on your hips since your stride has to be wider apart.
The race starts at 10:00 a.m. which is nice. More time to drive down there and more time for the temps to rise. The weather report right now shows a high of 31 degrees on Saturday for Park City. That's about a 20-30 degree difference from what it has been here in Kemmerer lately. The venue for the race is the Prospector Square Lodge & Conference Center. It looks pretty nice!
