Today was a beautiful day for a time trial - cold dry snow and sunny skies (at least for a while). The course was about 9k, point-to-point partway around the main loop at Foret - some good climbing followed by a couple long descents and then a gradual rolling climb for the rest of the way. Our team got after it pretty hard and gave a good effort. Chris was our big star today, finishing 8th behind some really outstanding skiers. Full results will apparently be posted on NENSA at some point - for now, here are our finishes:
Women
21 - Grace - 29:20
Men
8 - Chris - 21:54
13 - Spencer - 22:37
14 - Scott - 22:38
22 - Colman - 23:30
23 - Tom - 23:31
30 - Woody - 24:31
31 - Dan - 24:36
32 - Nick - 24:45
32 - Shem - 24:45
I'm happy with this showing - there's work to be done, but this is a decent start.
This evening we drove into Quebec City to wander around the Old Town. Ollie and I had a bit of an adventure finding parking - old European style cities aren't built for big vans, especially not on a Saturday night - but we managed. The skiers found some chocolat chaud but no crepes, much to Maren's disappointment. The big toboggan ride was closed, sadly - in spite of this crushing setback, a good time was had by all. The most fun part for me was driving around the city taking random turns trying to find Rt. 175 Nord (which was not to be found by driving the opposite direction on Rt. 175 Sud, for some reason). After considerable help from Nick's instincts, we drove through several more narrow streets and almost ended up on some kind of cargo ship. Eventually, Nat rescued us with some French-speaking skills (he's a baller) and we found our way home. Photos may or may not be forthcoming.

Why didn't the rest of the girls race?
Our other two girls at camp (Maren and Olivia) have been sick - we played it safe yesterday.
