Some other cross training options

Hi everyone, I wanted to let everyone know of some cool cross training events.

On January 31st in Midway,UT is the Kahtoola Snow Shoe festival and race. There are races from 5K up to Marathon. If you haven't raced on snowshoes, this is a great chance to try it out. If you don't own snowshoes you can rent them at REI. I think I may do the 5K or 10K so let me know if you are interested.

Here is the link.

The other event that I have done in the past is Muddy Buddy. It starts this spring in different cities around the US. Although there is not one in UT, you can race in Phoenix, LA or even Boulder, CO. You race as a 2 person team with both people running and biking, but alternating back and forth. The race is usually between 5-10 miles total and the finishes with a crawl through the MUD PIT... its a blast.

I thought I would share in case you are looking for some alternatives this year as you train for your races.

Please share other intersting races that you know about.
