Hosting the SLU girls nordic skiers

This weekend Lucy brought her teammates down to our farm for a training weekend.

Yesterday most of the team hiked Wright and Algonquin. However, Lucy and a SLU freshman decided to do the 3k prolog, and the 1.5k sprint rollerskis race. There was a high speed, big downhill which Lucy snowplowed on, and lost a great deal of time on, so placed poorly. Today all the girls did the Climb2Castle up the Whiteface Toll Road ... 8k and 2300.'

I ran up and down the Toll Road to get a good workout for November's JFK 50 Miler. Lucy had a good race, making up time, which put her on the podium for the three race mini-series.

The six girls had a great time, giggled a great deal, and blew off a lot of carbon dioxide.
