The courses for the two races were pretty cool from a cheering perspective; with multiple opportunities to watch the runners on course. Both the Men's and Women's races were very exciting and the energy from the cheering fans as well as the racers was really cool to be a part of. The number of racers was overwhelming. The Batsies were holding good places in the pack and the men's team as well as one girl, who qualifies as an individual, headed to Indiana for nationals this weekend. Way to go Bobcats!!!!!
On the ride home Emmett fell asleep again- as usual.
Between the women's and men's races we played some touch football (Shoutout to Hallie for much improved football skills) and a couple of the Colby skiers joined us and we learned some of their top secret plays (this will definateley give us the upper hand as we take them on in a Thanksgiving Bobcats- Mules game).
Sunday we headed out on our last OD classic rollerski of the fall. Backy and Matt pulled up about an hour and a half in with some delicious cookies that gave us the energy we needed for the rest of the ski! We finished the week exhausted but stoked at the amount of training we fit in.
This past week (November 18-23) has been a good recovery week as the team got ready to head to Canada for Thanksgiving camp! This morning we packed the vans with a ton of food, lots of ski clothes, SKIS and excited skiers and embarked on a journey to Stoneham, Quebec. The chalet where all the teams are staying is made up of cozy, colorfully painted condos in the midst of full-blown winter. And LOTS and LOTS of snow.
The high tomorrow is 9 degrees and we couldn't be more excited to get on snow.
Stay tuned for more on our Canadian adventures, I know Emmett has some artsy pictures coming up!
BOBCAT WOLFPACK FOR LIFE
Love,
Maddy
