Yesterday morning Lucy and I went over to the Olympic trails to watch St. Lawrence University host the Eastern College ski circuit. We watched the women's 5K classic race, which was held in very challenging waxing conditions (alternating rain, sleet, and snow). The Dartmouth women cleaned up, taking places #1-#5. Later in the day, my youngest NCS nordic racers were out on our trails - with their waxless skis - working on their double poling. Thanks to all the collegiate racers who made this training video possible. (The background music is from the Nutcracker.)
