Back Together & Lots of Snow

Almost everyone returned to campus on Monday, leaving us with a great training group these last couple days. Yesterday we did a very productive threshold workout at Pineland. Oak Hill has been holding up well, thanks to the usual stellar work by the Pineland crew - lots of shoveling and moving snow around gave us a surprisingly good 6k loop. Last night the snow started hammering, leaving the roads too treacherous for driving this afternoon. Instead, we skied on campus - a bit sloppy, but good to get out and get moving. I'd guess that at least 10 inches have fallen so far, with a couple more forecast before it's over. Hopefully this will set us up for good training these next few weeks.

Ironically, we're about to leave town for a much less snowy venue, Lake Placid, where we'll start the carnival season. Everyone's fired up to get things underway - just crossing our fingers for good roads and half-decent snow. We'll know soon enough.
