Snowshoe Racing in Japan
A group of three U.S. Snowshoe Association members, including two members of the 2007 U.S. National Snowshoe Team, recently traveled to Japan to compete in the Japanese Snowshoeing Federation’s Tenth Annual National Snowshoe Championships. Accompanying the athletes were the USSSA Sports Director Mark Elmore and his son Jordan. Read about the trip here

A CHINESE VISA, DYNAMITE, & BEING STRANDED have nothing in common until you go on a trip with me. Armed with nothing but good intentions, my journey from Nevada to the tiny countries of Andorra and Switzerland were more action-filled than the actual snowshoe races I was traveling there to attend.
After departing early on the Thursday prior to the Andorra Snowrunning
Race (European Snowshoe Championships), I arrived in Munich with enough time to get a tasty airport lunch prior to breaching security to catch my flight to Barcelona, Spain. Unfortunately, this was the point where lack of sleep was not doing me any favors.

 

Snowshoeing has a new website

The International Amateur Snowshoe Racing Federation now has a home on the internet at www.internationalsnowshoeracing.com

If you are traveling anywhere in the world and would like to race or are just looking for an organizing body for some country you will find it here in the near future. The website is in ten languages to help spread the word about our great sport.

Now, with most of the nation experiencing a FANTASTIC winter and with a number of us with at least one race under shoes,  it's time to introduce the Final Leg of the Triad;  Race Fitness.  I'm going to do this by taking you along with me as I contested my first race as a "new Father Warrior" of a 4-month old before prescribing a sample Race Season Training Week.   C'mon...
