Meanwhile, a few of the boys headed over to Bretton Woods yesterday for another marathon. Alec appears to be some kind of closet marathon specialist - he had another great race, finishing 10th in a field filled with college skiers. Riley skied to a solid 16th place finish. Great work by both guys to complete their second marathon in 2 weekend. Spencer had intended to race, but he suffered a freak cheese-making accident last week that left him with stitches in one hand (this would only happen to Spencer), so he skied part of the 25k with no poles just for fun. It sounds like this same crew is headed to Sugarloaf next weekend for yet another marathon - they'll be up against Walt, who's making a big comeback with his first and only race of the season - should be fun to see how it goes.

JNs Wrap-up and Bretton Woods
Junior Nationals is over, with New England taking a decisive victory. It's been a good week for James. Friday's 10k skate race wasn't his best, but he hung in for a respectable 33rd. In Saturday's 3x3k classic relay, he skied a very good scramble leg and put his team right in the mix with the 7th fastest split time (final team finish was 9th). Overall, a fun experience and a great way to cap off a very successful season.
