Went well. Slushy out, but the consistency wasn't very slippery so it felt pretty safe to run in as long as caution was warranted. Energy felt great. Looking forward to getting in a tempo run tomorrow.
Nice to come home and see my Dion Snowshoes arrived! Very stoked with them. It's the same model I raced in yesterday and at the Bradbury Blizzard last year. I really like the fact that not only are they solidly built and perform well, but they are manufactured here in New England (read: not China) and the company is super supportive of snowshoe racing not just locally, but elsewhere. No wonder they're such a popular choice. Dion Snowshoes rock.

Loved your race report. All I can say is wow! Great placing and it looked liked fun. Looking forward to seeing that tempo workout.
You receiving you snowshoes is probably why we got this horrid January thaw.
What I love most about the Dion snowshoes is that they are modular. If something breaks you can order the missing part and replace it yourself. When my atlas snowshoes broke I was without snowshoes for 3 or 4 weeks (that's a good portion of the winter)
I like how your Dion's look like they're from the wild west!
