Morocco Thanksgiving Camp

Bowdoin Nordic alumni Emma James '13 and Hannah Wright '13 recently reunited in Morocco, where Emma is serving with the Peace Corps.  Being dedicated skiers even long after graduating, they embarked on a 10-day training trip across the country.  Here is their guest post:

Emma, the Responsible Freshman of 2009-10, packed all her gear into one big bag.  #responsible #impressive

Emma does max strength.

Because she is an alum, Hannah forgoes single leg squats and keeps both feet on the ground.

Emma warms up for a track workout by doing stair repeats.

Even without the Buck Center, Hannah gets her Olympic lifts in.

Planks stabilize the core.

Emma and Hannah practice their ski jumps...

...while others practice their humps. (get it?)

Nathan and Tim remind the girls that staying hydrated is important.

As the carnival season approaches, the girls work on their agility - you can never be too prepared for Oak Hill's corners.

Lemma buys a new buff for racing season.

Carnival season arrives.  Emma and Hannah love to ride in the cargo van and entertain Coach Alsobrook.  He wishes they would do more of this:

 And less of this:

The most romantic race of the season:  Carni Crush.  Better do your hair real good for this race!  Don't worry, folks, it was purely good clean fun.

After the racing season Emma celebrated with a big glass of... orange juice.  #culturallyappropriate

All in all, during Thanksgiving Camp '15 (Morocco edition), we trained about 35 hours (if sitting on a bus is considered training).  Please notice both our shirts.

 Until the next reunion...(we didn't have time to write Nordic).

Love,
Emma and Hannah, Class of 2013

PS - Don't be fooled.  We're still *sometimes* immature.  #hitim
