SLU Carnival photos

My family made the long trek over to Lake Placid from Maine this past weekend and my dad came prepared with his camera and has posted photos from both races in a web album.

There is also a web album for the UNH criterium that some of us did the weekend before: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=Marvinney&target=ALBUM&id=5427802768268025409&authkey=Gv1sRgCOCI3Zr-nc-58wE&feat=email
Eric, Zach, Teo, and myself along with Leah and Hannah on the women's side went over to Jackson NH for this race the weekend before the carnival as a chance to get a little racing tune up. The field was mostly UNH, Williams, and Bates skiers with a few from UVM, Harvard, and of course the SLU crew. The race didnt have a predetermined distance, just the notice that it would be between 25 and 35 minutes long and that we would be told when we had three laps left on Jackson's 1.4km sprint loop. I don't really remember too much about the race since it was over a week ago with a carnival in there as well, so I'm not really sure what to say about it. I thought it was a fun race despite being very hard. I felt strong, especially on the climbs Eric was pretty near the top with Teo not too far back, and without a broken pole Zach would have been up there too. Combined with a 10k classic the next day, it was a good confidence booster and tune up going into the race season, which is now moving into full swing with one carnival already done.
