Winter Quadrathalon

Ready for a Wee Bit of Winter Fun?

Yes, the Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon has opened its doors for 2008. Sign your name on the dotted line and come join in a bit of Nordic suffering and a whole of fun. After all, it will be the 25th anniversary of the event so look for a lot of festivity from the townspeople of Grants, New Mexico.

For my fellow Slowtwitchers, here are some photos of last year’s course that I wasn’t able to post to the forums:

About 6-7 miles from the start line.

A little farther up, shot over my shoulder. Two riders behind me. Beautiful country!

About a mile (?) from the start of the run. The snow has started.

Here’s the feared Heartbreak Hill. Doesn’t look like much from here. Note the black dots on the hill…those are people. I unleashed many a curse word on this hill.

I didn’t take many pictures after this point. That alone should tell you something. You can read the full race report of my first DNF by clicking here.

Find your edge and dance upon it.
