If only the 3.8 Mile Hawley Kiln Snowshoe Race finish was this dramatic...

In this photo, featured from left to right:  Tim Mahoney, Dave Dunham, myself and Tim Van Orden, break away from the pack about one mile into the race.

All four would eventually finish top 5, as Dave would lead the charge, followed by myself, TiVO, and Tim M. The conditions were as difficult as any yet this season... due to the mild temperatures and snow chemistry.  Somehow, Dave Dunham was able to 'float' across the snowpack, while the rest of us seemed to break through with each step.  Great race to all.
