Despite not having a carnival this weekend, we still had the opportunity to get some great racing in. Our very own Lake Placid hosted a combined Eastern Cup and Super Tour on the trails at the base of the ski jumps. We all met with the coaches individually to decide what type of training/racing our weekend should consist of to best help prepare us for the rest of our carnival season.
I had the opportunity to spectate Saturday’s 1.5k skate sprint as much as it pained me to not race on the PERFECT skating conditions. It was a great day to be a Saint with both Matt and Ruben moving on to the junior heats and Ruben skiing a tactful race in the finals to come out with the WIN!
On Sunday, a new crew returned to Lake Placid for a 10k classic race in the very warm spring temperatures. It was perfect preparation for the upcoming 10k at the UVM carnival. The team is getting tuned up, and figuring out what we each need to do to reach our goals. It is obvious the team is ready to turn some heads, have some fun, and prove what SLUSKI is capable of!
And on that note I will leave you with this video that I had way too much fun making of Saturday’s skate sprints. It is clear by the quality of this video that I should stick to skiing and leave the filmmaking up to the professionals.
