I am a runner first and foremost, but with my work at Goldstream Sports I have taken up more cycling and skiing when the opportunity presents itself. I’ve been working on getting better at Fat Biking. For those of you unfamiliar with Fat Bikes, it’s a bike with an extremely wide tire made for riding through snow covered trails. In March I participated and completed the White Mountain 100 on a Fat Bike.
After fat biking the White Mountains 100 for the first time this year, I noticed some differences compared to running 100 miler races in other states. You definitely finish a lot sooner, which is nice, but it is a different mindset. There is a lot more power involved, and I felt sore in different areas than running. It was a different challenge for me. Overall the experience was great, and I really do enjoy fat biking for cross training and enjoyment! Next attempt at the White Mountains 100 will for sure be running it, because all of you know…..I am a Runner at heart!!!
