Today we had a skate TT scheduled. The weather was not cooperating (sleet was falling at the rate of 1″/hr.) and the trails that had been perfectly groomed last night looked as if someone had laid a big white blanket over them.
All the better! Sometimes the weather isn’t pretty, but nordic skiing is an outdoor sport and you have to deal with it.
Because of the 2-4″ of sleet, ski flex and pacing became critical. Times for the team were all over the place. On the boys side, Skyler crushed it and no two boys were within 1 minute of one another. Then…on the girls side, Cam and Heather tied to the second. Go figure….
Regardless, it was a good hard workout for everyone. Here are some pictures.

Hallie hammers the last big hill.
Sometimes you just gotta do it…and besides…sleet is better than rain!
