Maine Event 2019

It's been a beautiful fall, but yesterday was a throwback to last year - cold and rainy!  That didn't stop seven dauntless Bowdoin nordies from tackling the Maine Event agility challenge at Pineland.  After a smooth qualifying round, we were poised to crush the head-to-head heats.  Sadly, the cold and wet played havoc with the timing equipment, so instead we ended up throwing out the first round and doing a second individual round to determine the final standings.  Our folks held their own in a good strong field of college skiers and juniors - Christian took the men's win with a blazing run, while Greta tied for 2nd and Lily was right behind in 4th.  Greta's sister Elsa was in town for Family Weekend - she jumped into the race and won!  Pretty good day for the Bolinger family.  Overall a good solid dose of skill building and fun times.  Thanks to NENSA for putting this event together!
