Rumford Sprint

Ollie called in a report this afternoon on the Eastern Cup sprint in Rumford. Decent performance overall on a tough course. Spencer was the top finisher in 35th, narrowly missing the heats. Polasky had the race of the day in 48th, ahead of lots of fast juniors and some good college skiers as well. Full results here. They're staying at the Mawhinney's house right down the road from Black Mtn - a perfect setup, thanks to Woody's parents, Dan and Diane.

Back home, we held a couple sprint relays, short and long. The World won the short, but Maine came back to take the long and earn a split. Jeff gets a gold star for helping his team to the short course win after a broken pole. Today was the best day of skiing all week - cold, sunny, and nice firm snow.

Broomhall Cup tomorrow - 10/15k classic. There's snow in the forecast and apparently the course is tough, so it'll be a slog. That works for us.
