Canada Ski Marathon 2007

Anne Lightbody & Amy Dickson

The recruiting email went around

Good times in Canada abound

But fitness plans

Were shortly canned

Too many months with no snow on the ground



With Tara along for the ride

Saturday's start had teammates by our side

Wax made us slow

Getting past go

But to catch the pack the two of us tried



One found challenge not enough on the map

So let her boot sole start to flap,

A tad shaky going down

But in the end we found

It was not even much handicap



The other had slick new skis

That let her win downhills with ease

Water sweetened with honey

Kept her outlook sunny

As we flew on, for team Snow Geese



Saturday dinner was nice and hot

Other than that don't remember a lot

Faces had smiles

But legs too many miles

And sore muscles drove us to our cots



Last check point closes at half past two

Twenty minutes with 5K to do

Sunday's moderate pace

Set us up for a race

And we were the last ones through



Two girls a bit odd in the head

Ski a marathon? Why not, they said

140 K

In just two days

Left them only ready for bed
