Payette Lake Ski Marathon Feb 19th

CODE RED TRADES GLOVES FOR SKIS

Since retiring from professional boxing in Sept ’09, Cristy Code Red hasn’t lost the itch to compete. On Feb 5th, Code Red snapped on the skate skis to compete in one of the country’s most prestigious ski marathons: The Boulder Mountain Tour in Sun Valley, ID. A 33km (20 mile) cross country ski race winding through the beautiful mountains was no easy feat. Cristy trained for months to gain the skill, speed, endurance and power to push through to the finish line. “I always said if you can get through a fight, there’s nothing you can’t do,” said Code Red. “And this was no different, except no one was wanting to beat my face in!”
