There's a new 200-mile (about 320 km) single loop ultrarun in North America - the Tahoe 200, which boasts almost 40,000' of elevation gain. In its inaugural year, 25% of entrants are female (compared with less than 10% at UTMB), and there is a huge waiting list. Wow.

Myka, 'Bent, BazingaDog and I started the day with a fun, chatty snowshoe trek in Palgrave East. We spent most of our time bushwhacking, including some deep snow slogs through wetlands we can't explore in summer. We found lots of deer beds and a few deer yards so BazingaDog was in sensory heaven. He was wearing his skijoring harness, and there were a few times when he caught a scent and took off with 'Bent thrashing through the brush behind him. Although it was a warm -2C (plus some wind) and I'd dressed warmly, I got badly chilled. Not sure why but I wonder if it has something to do with a fast for a medical test yesterday. Two hours later, I'm still cold indoors.

'Bent and I skied the Green and Red trails at Albion Hills on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon. The trails were slick and occasionally icy. The beautiful weather attracted a lot of newbies on a day when even experienced skiers had to be cautious on the bigger downhills. We couldn't get up too much speed because we might find someone splayed across the trail around the next bend. It was fun and fast but an hour was enough. It would be great to go back after the next snowfall, preferably in the morning before the March Break crowds arrive.

Our kitchen ceiling waterfall started running again yesterday but things are dry today in all four of our previous flood zones. When the temperature rises over the next few days, we may have to start wearing PFDs around the house.
