So - the Bowdoin Nordic team blog is up and running, thanks to Shannon, and I'm finally ready to get into regular posting mode. Here's a brief update on the team's progress so far:
No official practices until Oct. 1, according to NCAA rules. In the meantime, the skiers are organizing their own training sessions. As our only captain present this semester, Forrest has taken the lead on this, and the team has been out doing all kinds of good stuff: morning weight sessions, self-tests of aerobic fitness and upper body power, running, rollerskiing, a beach run at Popham, and a hike/run around the Baldface Circle trail in Evans Notch. The Brunswick September has been beautiful - a nice mix of warm and cool, with leaves just starting to turn. I'm hearing good things from people about these sessions - sounds like our group is both fit and dedicated, for the most part. There's lots of reason for optimism - last year was one of the best ever for Bowdoin Nordic, and we intend to continue moving forward this year. More to come soon.
