Yep, you read that right. There are only 2 remaining. Obviously we’re not talking about honest politicians nor bankers, because this is primarily a ski site. The matter presently on the docket pertains to the informal, heartrate increasing, low key, fun, more or less underground rando race series here in the Wasatch mountains. There are only two of these races left. The next one arrives this Thursday, February 23, at 7 p.m. at Brighton as usual.
The next one occurs one week later, on Thursday, March 1st, also at 7 p.m., also at Brighton. Both of these races lead up to the Wasatch Powderkeg, which is one of the grand daddies of rando races. That’s on March 10th, but you already know that and have signed up, so why reiterate?
Expect the usual at the races. It’ll be dark (hmm, sunset is getting later and later, maybe it’ll start off in the not-dark), people will sport synthetic clothing choices, plenty of heavy breathing and sweating will be going on as people fumble through the unfamiliar terrain. You can see the attraction. It’s similar to $ex.
So make sure you get it while the getting is good. It’s been a sexy race season so far, but with snow finally arriving, and hopefully some spring-time stability as well, it’s time for bigger projects to get underway.
As for the final two races, expect the usual. Bring a headlamp and a helmet. Anticipate having zero idea where you’re going or what the race format is until seconds before someone yells, ‘Go!’ That’s what informal means, right?
