No Ambulances at the XC- But It Was Close

8km cross country race today. Extremely icy but no ambulances calls that I know of. Treacherous conditions can bring out the adrenaline, especially when there are embankments that are REALLY close.

And this race series has never been cancelled, that I know of, no matter the weather or conditions. Hard Core!

85 hardened cross country runners out today

The non-trail beside the trail was often a much safer place to run.

Don’t slip over the embankment!

Trails along the Bow River

85 pairs of spikes out today. Could  NOT go without them.

Christmas themed aid stations – but no food or water

Doubled the number of screws in the shoes for traction for this race.
