MvW Day 2

Another good day of training at Pineland today - we did classic 4x4 VO2max intervals, with some aggressive downhill pack skiing on the recovery. The snow got a bit transformed yesterday night with a weird brief thaw, so it was pretty abrasive but hard wax still worked fine. Skating tomorrow should be great.

Team Maine won a decisive bowling victory to open the MvW competition last night, led by Nat's high score of 171. Lots of folks were streaky - lots of strikes and gutter balls. Wilson opened the game with 3 straight strikes and started talking about ditching skiing for bowling - fortunately, he cooled off shortly thereafter. Olivia took most improved honors, increasing her score from 58 in the first game to 154 in the second. The World appears to have gotten the better of the play in water basketball today, so the overall competition would seem to be tied, although I haven't gotten the official word yet.
