A couple Bowdoin skiers raced in last weekend's Eastern Cup Openers in Jericho, VT. Spencer had a rather sloppy skate qualifier on Saturday, but came back with one of his best classic efforts ever in yesterday's 12k mass start. Kaitlynn finished exams and got home just in time to jump into the classic race and post a respectable finish. Both were right in the mix with a number of strong college skiers. I have no doubt that they'll both be racing faster in a few weeks, but this is a good starting point. Full results here.
As of today, almost everyone has headed home (I think Polasky is going to be the last person left on campus tomorrow morning). Sounds like the West/Midwest crowd has decent skiing to look forward to, while things might be thin for the Easterners for the near future. Regardless, everyone should have plenty of chances for productive training and, more importantly, lots of rest. I'm excited to see how they look when we're back together in January - in the meantime, I'll post race reports as I get them.
