UVM Day 2

Another cold day at the races, this time with wind and some light snow. Our big highlight was a huge race from Spencer - he finished 17th for a big PR and our best result in 2 years. We've been waiting for the real Spencer to show up all season - he's been tired and borderline sick - so this was a relief. It was fun to watch him racing - he latched onto the skier who started behind him and drafted for the better part of the race before passing him back in the last kilometer. "I just looked at a spot on his bib and focused on good technique," Spencer told me after the race. Perfect. Elissa also had a solid comeback race after fighting illness for most of January - she was 46th for EISA skiers. Several others had good races, and the team as a whole hung in there nicely in spite of a general "flat" feeling - school and travel are catching up to these guys, and we'll need to get some quality rest this week.

Lots of great photos from this weekend - I'll post a bunch of them tomorrow. For now, here's one of Spencer and Wilson from Kurt Kenney:

Thanks to the team parents for another weekend of great support. Photos, food, waxing, cheering - you guys did it all!
