The nordic race season is in full swing

Period one action on the World Cup scene is behind us, and the US team members still in Europe are doing a training block. Domestically the super tour series has moved from West to East and the US nationals begin early in the new year.

Lucy and the St. Lawrence team have done well in their first three regional - and somewhat mellow - races. Lucy has been on top of the podium for all three.

However, that is about to change. This weekend in Craftsbury it will be a different story in the sprints and 10k. Most elite racers (including Lucy) will use this weekend as a final tune up before nationals. At least a half dozen women from US and Canadian teams back from the World Cup Circuit are registered, not too mention top guns from Dartmouth, UNH, UVM, Bates, Middlebury, and Williams. THE BIG DOGS WILL ALL BE THERE.
