How many times can I fall over?

Today I did my first Pedal Power Snowshoe Race at Tennessee Pass. Nothing like running a 10K at over 10,000ft to kick off your weekend. Bruce's races are true cross country style, jumping over logs, ducking trees and branches and today it felt like it was all in a bowl of sugar.

Last weekend was good race for me, I fell only twice, today I fell 30 times. I felt like I was drunk. From my face plants, of which there were many, I would call "yep, I'm fine, keep going". Then swear like a trooper, climb to my feet, and carry on with my stumble.

Today was a day I had to swallow my pride and chalk it up as 'experience'. It was very humbling.
