Sunday: 12 hour Torrential Downpour…

"Rumble in the Rain:" Craftsbury's first (in modern times) biathlon race.  Matt is lining up participants for the start of the novice race.  This picture doesn't do justice to have devastatingly drenching it was.  We were initially hesitant to hold the race because we didn't think any one would show up (wrong! we had a whooping 15) and we thought we might damage the trails.  Little did we realize what the weather gods had in store...

We thought about skiing off the roof, but the upstairs window was snowed in too.
