Last Saturday’s
Summit for Life Race at
Aspen Mountain was a lot of fun. An after dark start was a nice twist to your typical daytime race start. The race was timed perfectly with a large winter storm that dumped 15 inches of much needed snow on
Aspen Mountain.
It was beautiful skinning up the mountain with large snow flakes falling. The scene in front of each racer was illuminated by headlamp.
My goal for the race was to finish in under and hour. The race ended up taking me 1 hour 2 minutes and 27 seconds a 10th place overall finish out of over 390 racers. The race was a good kick in the pants to train a little harder leading up to the 2013 US Ski Mountaineering National Championships in Jackson Hole WY.
