I had a blast racing today at the COSMIC Irwin race. Having missed all of last year’s race season while I was pregnant,I had forgotten how fun rando racing is.
Max Taam, Pete Gaston and I left the Roaring Fork Valley this morning, drove to the base of Kebler Pass and then snowmobiled into Irwin Lodge. The course was perfect with the 10 inches of fresh snow that fell last night.
I would like to thank Bryan Wickenhauser, Jake Jones, Pete Swenson, and CS Irwin for putting on an amazing race. What a great way to start the season!
