Sorry we were off the grid this past week.  We got back in action today at the Middlebury Carnival but we also race last weekend so let me hit those high points first….

Juergen and Franz went 2, 3 in the 10k and Alex was 23rd to pace the men to a second place finish.  Katrina, Jennie, and Mary paced the women.  On Saturday in the mass start Franz was second and Juergen managed an eigth place after his ski came off while he was sprinting for 3rd.  Alex scored again with a 13th as the men place third.  Johanna lead the women with her best finish of the season with Kat and Ellery finishing close behind.  On Sunday Laura and Kelly went 1, 2 in the Ichabod’s Revenge at Sleepy Hollow and brought home some sweet prizes.

Now for today’s results… I wish I had some photos as it was an exciting day!

Franz and Juergen out-dueled Glenn Randall from Dartmouth for 1, 2 finish in the men’s 10k Classic mass start.  It was an exciting race with Franz and Juergen battling it out at the front with Alex, Chris, Ryan, and Eric fighting it out not to far back.  In the end Alex hung on for 15th which was good enough for a one point victory over Dartmouth in the event.

On the women’s side, Caitlin lead the group home in 4th place.  Mary followed up with a stellar 12th place finish and Jennie rounded out the scoring in 18th which was good enough for third place on the day for the women.  All things considered it was a good day.  Caitlin didn’t show too much rust after a week off last weekend and Jennie is almost back after a lot of bad luck with illness.

The alpine team was strong as well today and we are only 5 points back of Dartmouth with freestyle relays and the GS tomorrow.  Watch for pictures on eisaskiing.org and hb3.smugmug.com
