Soccer, Camping, and Ratchet Burgers

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

This past weekend marked the second annual Ski Team camping trip in Stowe.  For the nordic team the weekend began with a tough running threshold workout at Red Rocks park Saturday morning.  The men were paced by Weaver who started about 30 seconds in front of them.  He somehow managed to hold them off each time despite being hobbled by a sprained ankle sustained while hiking with his wife.  I am still rounding myself back into shape after a few bad years of training but managed to run with the women for parts of their workout.  I was impressed with the women’s pacing and the men’s toughness.  Some of the men might have been a little too tough for their own good as there were a few that reached a little beyond threshold.

Jericho Time Trial #1

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

First weekend on campus and already there is a race nearby!  We raced at Jericho on Saturday in the third and final race of the NENSA roller-ski series.  It is tough to compare times in a roller-ski time trial but NENSA has a set of matched roller-skis that the top seeded skiers use.  Jennie showed she has continued to improve her skating since last year as she edged out Ida Sargent (Dartmouth) and first year Caitlin Patterson (UVM from Alaska) for the win on the matched skis.

Jennie being cheered on by the Beastie Boys.
