5/10k skate at Prospect today for the Williams Carnival. The grooming was somewhat suspect, but nice and fast snow - loose frozen granular. A decent day for our team, if not great. Maresa skied well in spite of a crash, and John had a PR in 32nd to help the men to a 6th place team finish, just 3 points from 5th. Times were really tight today - Walt was 14th, just 5 seconds from 9th - he had been only 7 seconds from the lead on the first lap before fading. Forrest was also in good position before he tripped and had a very painful fall - he still managed 24th. Our expectations are high these days, but a 6th place team finish isn't something to be dismissed - one of the best finishes ever for a Bowdoin team. Classic sprint relay tomorrow - our first and only relay of the year. Great chance to show off as a team - should be fun.
PS - I almost forgot to mention the amazing lunch provided by Sue and Lloyd Crawford: sandwiches on homemade bread, soup, cookies, fruit. It was what you'd expect if you hired a caterer, but better. Outstanding.
