A fabulous first day at camp! We awoke to nearly a foot of fresh snow, albeit wet (the precip was a schizophrenic mix of snow and rain), which made for pretty good cruising on our first day of training. Most of the team skated in the morning and classic skiied in the afternoon; the snow was fast, though a bit rutted in spots. We fit in a good 4 hours of skiing for our first day, and after an incredible dinner cooked up by the parents of Hannah Smith and Isaac Hoenig we are fueled up and ready to hit the trails again tomorrow: Peter Hoenig, Cathy Schen, Aime Smith, and Tom Smith procured a spread of chili, rice, cornbread, spinach salad, and gingerbread cake. What a feast!
Tomorrow: the temps are supposed to cool off considerably night, so the tracks should be great for another two training sessions.
In other news: the French-Canadian-acccordian-folk-pop-rap music on the radio is incredibly fantastic (says Aubrey) and the boys are entertaining themselves with new haircuts.
Oh, and Isaac made up a great new joke. Please ask him to share it with you. :)
