Storm Week and Lobster Roll

Traditionally we call the last week before the end of Daylight Savings "The Most Boring Week Ever."  It's a mostly tongue-in-cheek way of describing our very easy recovery week - we do short simple workouts close to campus to make the most of the fading daylight.  This year we had a little extra excitement in the form of a fierce windstorm that ripped through northern New England - downed trees and power outages everywhere.

Roads and trails everywhere were blocked by fallen trees - a good week to keep it simple and stay close to campus.  We did a couple speed sessions, easy runs, a short track workout, and our first basketball session of the year!  Our team is always pretty bad at basketball - this year's group is no exception.  I'd like to think that we made some good progress on our skills, though - hope so, because everyone knows that you can't be a truly great skier without being at least somewhat good at basketball.

We finished off the week with a nice adventure - a trip to North Haven Island for the Lobster Roll skate rollerski race.  This is always a fun time - a unique Maine experience and a great chance to mix it up with some tough competition.  Renae scorched the course to take 2nd; Sean led the men in 8th, with Ian right on his heels in 9th.  Good solid day overall despite some nagging health issues troubling a few of our skiers.  Thanks to Andy Shepard and OSI for organizing the event!
