The enclosed picture shows "Team NCS" just before the start of the big race. Our team was composed of four staff, four current students, a recent graduate, and a former NCS mom. The times for this rugged 25K classic (1800') ranged from 1:57 to 3:10, with Hock skiing a relatively casual 2:10. (You may notice that his travel schedule and cultivation dinners seem to have thickened his middle a bit!)
