Isaac and Christina lead EPHS at SLU CARNIVAL

This past weekend kicked off the start of the 2013 EISA CARNIVAL CIRCUIT!  Isaac led the men's team both days as did Christina for the women. Both scored decent NCAA qualifying points and are off to a strong start for the season. It was a great weekend of racing with a tough 15K/20K individual start race on Friday in frigid temps and a 3.2K prologue event on Saturday. Everyone finished both races, which was an accomplishment in itself, especially on Friday with temps barely above 0 degrees. Lake Placid was bustling with all sorts of winter events going on and was inspiring as always with the presence of the Olympic Venues from 1980. The team even had a chance on Friday night to go watch some the aerials competition at the jumping complex. The weekend's races left everyone hungry for more next weekend in Waterville, ME at the Colby Carnival!
