Skier Sightings @ VT State Running Champs [updated]

By Adam Terko on 28 October, 2012 in Junior Blog

Congratulations to some awesome performances by MNC skiers yesterday at Thetford! Full results are here.

Patrick Hickey, Nathanael Kuzio, and Autumn Eastman were each amongst the top-6 in their division and helped their teams win the D1 Boys, D2 Boys, and D1 girls’ titles, respectively.

MNC and other local skiers’ results are down below.

Today we did a long rollerski out Pleasant Valley Rd, from Underhill Center to Cambridge and back. The boys skied close to 35km total, with many of them doing L3 intervals. The gals and J3 skier Will Solow skied approx 25-27km total – and this was hilly terrain! This is the end of an intensity week, so the athletes will have several days off this coming week.

A few pictures:

An inspirational place to train… just 40 minutes from downtown Burlington!

BK Hike and Pot-Luck Pool Party

By Cara Nelson on 26 October, 2012 in BKL Race Blog

November 3rd 11:30 – 6:00. BK kids and families are invited a hike up Sterling (or Madonna) followed by a pot-luck at the yurt and a pool party. It was a blast last year so we have to do it again! Meet at Parking lot #2. Have some warmer clothes to put on at the top and a water bottle. Don’t forget some high-fiber, organic, high protein, made in Vermont cookies for Murray.
