WINTER FUN CONTINUES-     This has been a great winter for alternative ways to maintain one's fitness level until the start of the running season in spring. First, we had the snowshoe biathlon at Whitetail Preserve, then the Pa. Snowshoe Championships at Nescopeck State Park; and this weekend I had the opportunity to do the Heat up Hamilton Duathlon. This event featured a 6km x-c ski followed by a 5km run thru the Colgate University Campus in upstate New York. If you are the type of person that wants to stay fit during the winter and doesn't enjoy the treadmill or running thru the ice and snow on the roads, plan to change your winter training to include some of these unique races. Insta Results had a ski -run event in the 70's and 80's.Many local runners like the Rawls took part. Maybe we can bring it back. But I highly recommend trying these competitions to make the winter fun again.
