Pittsfield Snowshoe Half Marathon 2008
In life two things develop character:.. what you do…. . .... and how you do it...... I must be in need for some character development... On Friday, March 7, 2008 , I drove the 6 hours to Pittsfield Vermont so I could compete in the Pittsfield Snowshoe Half Marathon ..... Vermont is everything you think it should be, vast amounts of snow, quaint Vermont chalets with little white lights, charming General Stores that sell real Vermont Syrup in super nifty maple leaf bottles, moose crossing signs, and of course really narrow pitch black mountain roads. .. yes this was Pittsfield, Vermont.. population 400.. They were calling for crappy weather.. a mix of snow, freezing rain and rain for the day of the race, so I made sure to put my extra gloves, socks, etc.. in zip lock baggies within my backpack to keep them dry.. thus if I needed to change into dryer stuff after the first loop I could do so…I was feeling quite smart until I saw that people showed up with totes.. NOW WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF...
