Today was the 2nd race at US Nationals, in Rumford, Maine. Black Mountain managed to make enough snow to cover a 3.3 km loop, including the infamous "High School Hill". Today Will and Vanya completed 4 laps of the course for the 15 kilometer skate race at Nationals, in which 200 men took part. Will had another stand-out day, taking 35th overall and 3rd for Juniors, and Vanya was less than 8 seconds out of the top twenty for Juniors, in 83rd overall.
The last race that we will compete in is tomorrow's 10km classic race. The snow is holding up okay, though it gets pretty chewed up throughout the day and is very dirty. Tracks should be hard and fast though; today's 3.3km laps were only taking about 8 minutes each! There will be all kinds of fun klister combos tested tomorrow. :)
