An awesome Derry 16 miler in 2009
My legs are pretty sore still here and it’s Tuesday. I got my money’s worth out of the 2009 running of the Derry 16 Miler.

I’ll spoil the suspense for you; they worked awesome for me and I’ll tell you about it. I got the perfect storm, so to speak, of new toys and awful weather. Couldn’t ask for better weather to test out traction devices in.

We had tremendous ice storms Thursday night. The weather was such that the mist froze on the trees. It was quite a scene. Many people are still without power today, Monday. Some are rumored to be out through Christmas. The great trees of New England filled with ice and gave way with loud, rifle-shot cracks. Large branches and tops of trees came cascadin

Anthony made a great observation the other night while we were in the woods. It may even be appropriate now that my website has died. But with this entry I rechristen it.
