HALLOWINTER
The week following Rangeley we kept it rolling with another big one, replete with traditional Lost Valley Wednesday intervals and some long, cold threshold rollerski pieces Saturday at Pineland under some rather ominous clouds.
On Saturday night, as costumes were being donned about campus for the Halloween dance (the men's team all toga'd up as Greek Gods, naturally), we were blessed with a solid half-foot of snow. This meant that early Saturday morning, as the rest of campus slumbered from the night's festivities, we were up and on skis. Unfortunately there wasn't quite enough white stuff to make a trip to Pineland reasonable (but a bit too much to make it quick).
We had to "settle" for a game of skis-on speedball in lieu of our planned over-distance roll to Freeport for the 2nd Annual Fuller Family Ski'n'Shoot. Sunday is still OD day, though, so after 2.5 hours of fierce competition and no-pole skating on the baseball field, we caved to the smell of bacon wafting over from Commons - besides, Dylan had told us that it was all-you-can-eat day (Caroline was ecstatic).
Unofficial MVP honors for the match go to Connor "Condor" Regan for his very physical head-to-head play against co-MVP Sean "Get At Me Condor!" Woods.
Unfortunately, we were so caught up in good times and the competitive instinct to catch any photos, but don't worry - the blog won't remain boring and wordy for long. This weekend we head to Acadia - thank you Milliken Family! - for some relaxation...but mostly training, including a time trial up the Cadillac Mountain access road.
Stay Tuned.
