Beaches, Brunches, and Time Trials

Lots of good stuff happening since Fall Camp - here are a few of our highlights:

 Great workouts and beautiful fall scenery all over southern Maine.

Our first round of beach skiing intervals at Morse Mtn - tide was a bit high for optimal sand skiing, but we pushed through and got a great workout.

 Huge crowd at our annual Family Weekend brunch!

Most of the boys went up to Fort Kent for a training weekend featuring a nice classic time trial (won by Sean) and lots of health food.  Much thanks to Ian's brother Seth for hosting!

 Meanwhile, the women and a couple of the men did a cold and rainy skate time trial back home - a good tough day to prepare for the real thing.  Top times by Lily and Ian.

 We couldn't get enough of the time trial thing, so we did a skate sprint at Pineland the following weekend - Sean and Lily were our top skiers again.  The Cork family was in town for a visit and brought a large supply of Frosty's donuts - amazing!

 We finished up the latest training cycle with a nice rollerski to Fiona's house in Freeport.  Thanks to Jim and Lucy (Fiona's parents) and Rosita and Will (Lily's parents) for an absolutely fantastic brunch!

Words of wisdom that all Bowdoin Nordic skiers should take to heart.

A very successful training period overall, despite some setbacks with illness and injuries.  Looking forward to crushing it in these next couple weeks before we're finally on snow for Thanksgiving!
