Thanksgiving, Time Trial, etc

All sorts of good stuff happening over the last few days. The snow has held up quite well in spite of warm temps today and yesterday - we've been skiing only a little on the 1k loop and doing a lot of exploring on the various ungroomed roads and trails - not bad skiing out there in spite of thin snow. We've put in a lot of hours and done some good productive technique work. I've seen some notable improvements in a short time - hopefully we can maintain these when we start up with rollerskiing again back home. We've had some outstanding meals, highlighted by a stellar Thanksgiving spread - green bean casserole, broccoli and cheese casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato fries, stuffing, pies, and of course turkey, masterminded by Spencer.

Today we teamed up with St. Lawrence, UMPI, and Colby for a 5.5k classic time trial on the 1k loop - klister waxing and lots of people in a small space made for a chaotic morning, but everything went quite well. I was really pleased with how everyone looked. People were really pushing hard - a good quality race effort. As importantly, most people I talked to enjoyed the race and were happy with how they'd skied. The results weren't anything special - we clearly have some work to do before we're race ready - but this was expected. I feel good about where we are right now, and I think we're on track to see some good results in the carnival season.

I'll get pictures up as soon as I can. For now, here are the results from today's time trial:
