SLU Skate

Saturday's skate race was another great day for racing - nice and cold temps, with a little fresh snow. The course was gently rolling, with lots of turns and a few short, steep climbs. It ended up being deceptively hard - with so many racers, the hills got chopped up and fairly sloppy, and most people who went out fast faded hard. It wasn't a great day for our team - several people are feeling tired right now, while others just haven't found their race legs yet. There were some bright spots, though, most notably Wilson's 29th place finish - his first ever NCAA points! It's great to see him getting off to such a strong start after two up and down seasons.
