Friends of Bowdoin

Last night was our annual Friends of Bowdoin dinner. Our team broke into groups for dinner with 4 different families around the area - great food and great company. My group had dinner with Henry and Alicia Heyburn. Henry coached the Bowdoin nordic team from '87-'92, back when the team was a Div. 3 power - it's always fun to talk ski team history. Thanks to all of the Friends of Bowdoin - we truly appreciate your hospitality.

Good training these last couple days - OD skate with some sprints yesterday, and an easy classic ski today. It's been really cold, but with no wind and bright sunshine the air feels great - couldn't ask for better. We've put in a lot of training over the last few days, and people are feeling it - we'll cut back pretty significantly starting next week, but for now we're taking advantage of no school to load up a bit. Tomorrow most of the first-years are off to Rumford with Ollie for the Eastern Cup sprint. Old folks will stay behind with me for a sprint relay, with more MvW points at stake.
