Noquemanon Ski Marathon

skiers crossing the finsih line!

This weekend was the Noquemanon Cross Country Ski Marathon. Due to everyone setting up for this event, I had to park in the back of the dome. Little did I know that the empty parking lot when I went to work early in the morning would be turned into the finish line when I came out in the afternoon! Unable to pass up this opportunity that landed in my lap, I hustled to my car to get my camera (because after the Clydesdale incident, I do not leave home without it!) and captured some of the finishes! My favorite part was seeing the snotcicles that were over an inch long hanging off of beards!!! I was disaapointed in the lack of a crowd at the finish line for these amazing, crazy, but amazing athletes. Who in their right mind runs a marathon? Let along on a pair of skis in the SNOW?! Oh snowbirds are a unique breed!
