Poor Strummy, he's not a fan of cold feet so he kept to the packed down part of the trail while I stayed in the deeper stuff.
Can't remember the last time I was snowshoeing, forgot how much fun it can be. Especially when you don't have to drive to the trail. I only drove the car 3 out of 7 days last week and even then only a couple miles to get to and from the pool. My pool gear is so heavy, hard to haul it from the car let alone on a bike or walking never mind the scary distracted texting drivers so I drive the 5 minutes to the pool. Plus a big giant hill on the way. Stupid, wasteful I know but I've yet to find a solution.
I'm thinking of trying some mountain bike races this spring but one of them is the same weekend as USDAA Regionals. Coincidentally they're about 5 minutes apart and I can sign up for the bike race close to the start time so I've got a sorta crazy idea about seeing if I can sneak over there for the race in the middle of the day if the schedule works out right. I know, sounds like a not very great idea but we'll see. Regionals will take priority, the bike course/trails aren't super interesting and this could well be Strum's last trial unless there are some UKI trials this summer that fit in my triathlon schedule. Strum turns 11 this month and I'm not a super big fan of double digit dogs doing agility but he seems fine so we'll keep going for the next couple few months. Hate to take it away from him, he truly loves it. But don't want him to spend his old age injured.
We needed the moisture and I'm glad for it but ready for spring and itching to hit the trails. It's melting quickly with the warm temps. but this only means mud season is upon us. Ah well, it's better than drought.
