Since school was cancelled the day we were going to participate in the SkiErg World Sprints, we decided (on Hannah Hausman's fabulous suggestion) to hold SkiErg Relays instead. Four teams of five athletes, each completing 1000 meters on the Ski Erg and then running across the gym, up the staircase, around the indoor track, and back down the stairs and across the gym to tag off to their next teammate. Teams A and B competed head to head, followed by Teams C and D. The race between C and D was tight, coming down to a sprint finish between Dimitri and Vanya, Dimitri just edging Vanya by a half foot. Team A was the overall winner of the Relaysl: Casey, Jenna, Ian, Elena, Kalle, and Sarah, who beat their competition by a solid 45 second margin. Elena and Kristen had the fastest women's times, Elena just missing a sub-4, and Kristen clocking 4:05. Phil had the fastest men's score, with 3:19.0, closely followed by Erik and Dimitri, just two tenths apart, at 3:20.7 and 3:20.9 respectively.
What everyone remembered, just one minute into their pull: this test is TOUGH. It is hard to stay upright after finishing the 1000 meters alone, as every muscle in the body is spent. So to make the body then run, scrambling up and down stairs, was a feat that put most of the team to their knees.
