We did a relay time trial with UVM and Middlebury this morning. Each team consisted of 3 men or women, and each person on the team raced 7.5km before tagging off to the next teammate. No times were taken, the purpose for this "race" was for the athletes to get their race legs under them and their motors going, and just to give a real hard effort. Mission Accomplished!
The start of the race: Atay in the cow tights takes it out, with Evan just to the left of him in the red suit, follows.
Sarah and Maddy, who started together, raced the whole 7.5 km together and then sprinted neck and neck to the finish line.
Evan, Keith, Dmitri, Robby.
Alice and Coach Fisher soak up sun
No complaints about this day
A pic and video from yesterday afternoon:
A Most Impressive Effort award goes to Eric Anderson who hurt his shoulder two weeks ago (we won't embarrass him by saying how, but it involved rain, a bike, and a cell phone) and has been skiing the full 3.5 hours a day, every day, with no poles or one pole.
At the end of the classic ski yesterday the tracks started glazing and the kicking was tough. The girls decided to do some double pole speeds. Evan, with his infinite wisdom, decided to do several no wax, no pole, striding sprints.
