Inaugural Bolton Hillclimb TT Results

By Adam Terko on 21 September, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog

We’ve been training in the Bolton-area more frequently this year — including rollerskiing up the Access Rd as well as hiking and doing intervals on the ski hill. Today we took the next step and went from workout to time-trial: the athletes ran/hiked up the dirt road from the base-area (start at the Waffle Shack) and climbed approx 950′ over the course of ~1.45 miles to finish at the top of the Vista Quad chairlift (near the turbine). At the end we had some cider and donuts to cap-off a great start to the weekend!

Times:

Henry Harmeyer, 14:34. Average HR = 200, max = 206
Bill Harmeyer, 15:30. Average = 200, max = 205
(Tim Weston), 15:33. Average = 174, max = 183
Charlie Maitland, 16:44. Average = 183, max = 192
Ethan John (~L3), 17:01. Avg = 175/max 182
Rick Costanza 17:09
Will Solow 17:25
Ben Carnahan, 18:21
Murray Banks, 18:30
Abby Grab, 22:05

Everyone got some locally-baked donuts and apple cider afterwards!

Excellent interview of Matt Whitcomb — US Women’s Ski Team Coach

By Adam Terko on 20 September, 2013 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog

Matt Whitcomb gives an awesome interview about the importance of teammates and chemistry amongst the US Women’s Ski Team. They are not only kicking major ass on an international-level, they are doing it with their own sense of style, enthusiasm, and happiness. They are an infectiously smile-y group of athletes and women, and there is no doubt their legacy will live beyond their athletic careers:

…And a cool picture of Bill Harmeyer doing a broad-jump today during training. Totally committed!

Bill goes for broke!
