US Nationals week

US Nationals went pretty well I think. Eric's win in the junior men's classic sprint was certainly a great note to end on. I am really looking forward now to getting the team together at the end of this week to start our EISA race season which begins with Bates Carnival back in good old Rumford. At the very least I feel confident that we can expect so excellent racing conditions based on what they were able to pull off this week. It would be great however to actually ski some of the rest of the trails so lets hope some natural snow finally starts to accumulate significantly. The plan was to train at Jackson XC on the courses for UNH Carnival and then head over to Rumford. However I think we might end up skiing a bit more at Black Mnt. unless the snow picks up soon in Jackson.

Other highlights from the week include Caroline's 26th place finish in the Women's 20K Classic. She paced this effort exceptionally well moving up I think 3 or 4places in the final 5K of the race. I would say this was probably one of the best races she has put together. Adam has had very consistent and strong results early in this season and should be able to move up significantly within the EISA field. We have a lot of new faces this season, it should be very exciting.
