Just getting back from Presque Isle, we were stranded an extra day by the storm, but the trip was well worth it. Excellent snow conditions, a (nearly) flawlessly run race (results snafu, but nothing serious), and some good solid results from all of our athletes. Justin was blazingly fast on saturday, qualifying for the sprint heats, a first for him and for any athlete of mine at an eastern cup. Both Lindsey and Lauren skied strong, despite Lauren
taking a fall on the first hill, which can be devastating in a sprint. And Jake got his first taste of an Eastern Cup, reportedly loving the thrill of cruising into the stadium at mach 3. Lauren skied strong on sunday, despite more woes with crashes, this time finding himself in the woods, a situation any seasoned nordie can relate to. Jake and Lindsey both had more strong finishes, they are in good shape and finding their snow legs. Justin had another strong finish; two top 30s to take home with him. And I even found time to jump in the race myself, though I somehow ended up as "Matt" Masterman on the results. Oh well, Matt scored better than Adam has in years, so I won't complain. Happy holidays to everyone, we're going to enjoy our Christmases and Chanukkahs and then get right back to business.
