Episode 134 - Fran and Jessica on Franconia Ridge, Flooding across the White Mountains22 Dec 202302:05:00

https://slasrpodcast.com/    

SLASRPodcast@gmail.com 

This week, we bring you a fun story of two hikers - Jessica and Fran who experienced trouble on Franconia Ridge - this one is from the perspective that we don't often think about when talk about hiking - the once a year hiker going out for a fun day of nature mostly unaware of how best to prepare for a challenging day in the mountains. This story turns out okay but it is a lesson in how small decisions can build up and create the potential for big problems. Plus we have an angry mother nature - road closures, washouts, raging rivers, and major flooding across New Hampshire and Maine - the great flood of 2023 this week has wreaked havoc in the Whites and beyond. All this and a Volcano eruption in Iceland, Wolves in Colorado, Lord of the Rings, A recent hike retraces the steps of Darby Field in the Montalban Range and recent search and rescue news

SLASRPodcast@gmail.com 

This week we are joined by the dynamic duo of Rebecca and Danielle to talk about their recent completion of the White Mountain Redline / Trace. This challenge entails hiking every trail in the white mountain guide and is a feat that very few people complete.  They have both been working on their redlines independently for a number of years and have now completed their goals. We are going to ask them to reflect on their accomplishments and go  through planning, logistics, struggles, and the triumph of completing what many consider to be the most challenging goal in the White Mountains. In addition we will talk about an incoming storm to hit later next weekend, a lost dog story, what happens when your parachute does not open, more gear reviews, House of Dragons, in our beer drinking segment a deep dive on Artificial Intelligence helping to make IPAs, notable hikes all over the whites,

Race the Cog 2023 - EDM SET02 Jul 202304:09:07

Stomp's complete House/Progressive set from White Mountain Endurance & Aravaipa Running's '2023 Race the Cog' event. This EDM set includes actual audio from the event, including the pre-race briefing, comments from Delta Dental's Tom Raffio and interviews with this year's top finishers, Joseph Gray, Amber Ferreira and Eric Blake (time stamps below). 

Be sure to check out 'Stories From the Starting Line,' a book co-authored by Tom Raffio, Ellen Raffio, with Erica Alison Cohen. Proceeds from the book go to Northeast Delta Dental Oral Health Foundation to improve access to dental care and also to the Tom Walton scholardship fund.

Stories From the Starting Line

Aravaipa Running

White Mountain Endurance

Delta Dental Northeast

Tom Raffio

The Cog Railway

Stories From the Starting Line: 'There are people who run occasionally or run as part of another sport, and there are people who need to run for their mental wellbeing. Tom Raffio and Ellen Raffio address the latter group in Stories from the Starting Line. The couple, who met running, runs more than 100 races a year in New Hampshire and Northern New England and uses this depth of experience to write about the diverse runners they meet at races.

The runners who share their stories are parents running pushing jogging strollers, men and women still running strong in their seventies, women who had to fight for their right to run, professional runners chasing wins and many more just looking for an adventure on their feet. Tom and Ellen talk with runners including 1984 Olympic Marathon Winner Joan Benoit Samuelson; Jacqueline Gareau, the real winner of the controversial 1980 Boston Marathon; and elite mountain runner Joseph Gray along with dozens of others.

The bookincludes runners of all ages and abilities who run all kinds of distances and terrain from 5Ks on the road to marathons, ultramarathons and triathlons. It highlights the nationally recognized Delta Dental Mount Washington Road Race, a 7.6 mile race up the auto road to the Mount Washington Summit in Northern New Hampshire, along with the numerous local road races that both raise money for charity and bring area runners together to do what they love. This includes the story of Millennium Running, a New Hampshire running events company that reimagined road racing so that when COVID-19 hit, the races could go on, which was not the case in most of the country. All these stories, and more, are part of Stories from the Starting Line.'
