Two weekends ago was the Dartmouth Carnival! This will be a quick recap as I am quite behind... First I got sick, then there was spotty internet in Middlebury, followed by lots of school work to catch up on. So it goes.
This year the Dartmouth Carnival was at Oak Hill... Again! 2 years in a row must be some kind of record. Just kidding. However, the snow cover was great. We just ran into some tough weather.

| Jackie on the chase |
On Friday, we had a long interval start skate race. The women started with a 10k. It was a bit of a slushfest. Jackie led us in 23rd. Kate had a great race, though, coming in 47th, even with a tough fall. The men came after and had an EVEN WORSE slush fest and hot sun. It looked like a tough time, but everyone got through. Bryan got 31st with a broken pole, though, so that was good! Frustrating to have some bad luck, I'm sure, but encouraging nonetheless. Thanks to our alpine team for coming to cheer! Their races were cancelled, so they checked out the dorky nordic scene.

On Saturday, we had relays! These were a blast. The course was solid ice, but it worked. 3x5k for both the men and women. Our women's teams came in 14th and 22nd. The men had some tough conditions again with really icy and skied off downhills (I don't know how we keep getting the better end of this deal - even when some weekends we start second?), but came in 18th and 26th. They really battled it out this weekend.

After that, we had carni crush, which as always was a wonderful mix of cute, awkward, embarrassing, and of course, hilarious. Thanks for checking in! And thanks to Bob Townsend for coming to cheer and getting some great photos!! Also, to my dad for getting some photos. Lots of photos.
