equipment

Well maybe I should have first watched the Canadian video Brad alerted us to this morning (see "How to dress at -25" under Latest Stuff). But it was hard enough getting my brain in gear to go out at 7.45am as it was.

Actually, I've got the layering thing down pretty well -- I am usually too hot. The hardest thing was deciding what shoes to wear. Do I stick with lightweight training/racers to help me keep up with Patty, or use something more substantial to help keep my feet a little bit warm and dry. While the snow plough had been down my street already, I was sure we would be slogging through at least six inches of powder out on the trial.
