We have to start by saying congratulations to Liz Stephen and Ida Sargent for their performances at the Tour de Ski and on the World Cup! Ida just scored a 5th place finish with teammate Sophie Caldwell in the team sprint and Liz clocked the 3rd fastest time in the final stage of the Tour de Ski (note: Liz's favorite, the hill climb) to finish a strong 2016 Tour where she gained places with every effort. We're super proud of you guys and are cheering loud from the Kingdom!
It is hard to believe the ECup season is halfway over. It was great to show up early on Friday afternoon to catch the end of the Bate's carnival classic sprint and cheer on some fast alumni and other college racers. Its always great to see the next level of racing. This weekend was a good one for all. We had some strong performances and everyone should be proud of their individual efforts. We're growing as a team with every effort and their were plenty of lessons to be learned from this weekend. We finished off with a fun effort on Monday at Bretton Woods in the Geschmossel classic race. The crew skied easy together as a part of a bigger over distance day to cap off a big weekend. It was super fun to charge around in the powdery woods at the base of Mt. Washington as a team. Now, its time to rest and recover, put in some good training, and then sharpen for our final back-to-back Eastern Cups. We can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!
Orli had a great effort in the Mass start CL!
