This last weekend was spent with my lovely wife Lisa at the Caza Ladron Hunt event in the Santa Fe area. While Lisa was out riding with the pack (of hounds) and looking for coyotes to chase (no foxes to speak of here in NM) I was able to get in some quality miles with my own pack. Additionally there was lots of recovery feasting and general good times.
The trails outside of Santa Fe were relatively snow free and the temperatures were cool so the running was a pleasant break from the road miles and ice trails up on "The Hill" in Los Alamos.
One day I was able to get in a good stretch of sand training up Buckman's wash to the entrance of Diablo Canyon. The best part was that the Hunt's "Woopie Wagon" was at mile 7+. You don't find too many aid stations/check points that offer port or champagne! They didn't even punch my ration card.
Coming up next is Antelope Canyon Ultra with some of the Grand-to-Grand crew.
