Heading home from another road trip

One of my retirement goals was to see almost all of Lucy's races this year ... so yesterday was the ninth race I spectated at. Colby College in Waterville, Maine is a seven hour drive from Lake Placid, and the driving route is discombobulated.

My drive on Thursday was nicely broken up by a ski tour up Cannon Mountain in Franconia, New Hampshire. My drive home was pleasantly broken up with dinner and an overnight stay with the Marchildons.

As for Lucy, she had a so-so 5k skate race, starting way too fast on Friday and losing lots of time on the second lap ... still she finished in the points in 24th. Yesterday's classic 10k was her best ever for that discipline, and the points keep her in position to get a nod to go to the NCAA Championships this March.
