Star Lake finally comes through again

The Lake effect snow machine kicked some up to southern St. Lawrence County so we went to Star Lake today and skied on the town golf course.  With a little ice underneath about 1 inch of snow sometimes less we had just enough to skate around for a little over an hour.  While it really wasn't good enough to merit the 40min drive tomorrow it was fun for today.

Right now we are willing it to snow more in Quebec.  Looks like a couple inches on the ground currently but snow showers throughout the week and weekend and the temps are forecast to be cold.  Whatever happens with the ski conditions we should be able to get some high quality training in.  

NCAA XC Regionals at SLU

Congratulations Johannah!

Just wanted to mention Johannah's spectacular second place finish at today's NCAA regional meet, hosted by SLU. Together with Wendy Pavlus, she led the way to a third place team finish that hopefully will qualify them to the national meet in Indiana.

The SLU boys also impressed. There were two SLU runners, Ramsey and Kiplagat, in the top ten (or possibly top eleven) and the team placed fourth.

Although we still have some work to do, watching the races definitely got me excited about the up-coming winter.

I'm also willing to take today's SLU results as a good omen for our own season!
