asterrocI snowshoed for an hour through the little park behind my house - though T$ says that you're not supposed to snowshoe unless there's at least 8" of snow on the ground, probably so there's less chance of hitting rocks under, but I don't treat mine as well as I should (2.4" reported), so whatever. Took a preventative puff from my inhaler before I left and never had lung problems. Heart rate was 140-170, still working on keeping it at the lower end of that range.
I wore silk long underwear, socks, new ski pants, silk undershirt, cotton long top, fleece sweatshirt, new "triple system" jacket, new winter boots, fleece scarf over my face, wool hat, sunglasses, hood over my head, snow shoes, new thick gloves, hydration pack. At the start there was a little breeze on my ankles, but I figured out how to pull the ski pants over the boots to stop that. Next time I need to readjust the snowshoes so they're a bit bigger for the boots.
Sat on the park swings for what must've been ten minutes without any ill effect, it was great. There were only two things I couldn't fix for this trip. There was mostly sleet coming down, and with that Noreast wind, it blew right in the eentsy crack between the sunglasses, scarf, and hood on my right cheek. I could probably buy a full face mask / ski mask to stop that, but I expect it's rare that I'd find need to use it. And the second was that the tube on the Women's *Winter* Camelback froze up. Next time I'll either put the whole thing on under my jacket (and over the sweater), or over the jacket and feed the tube up through the armpit hole in my jacket.
That was fun! :)
