Dartmouth Update from Bear

The Dartmouth Carnival wrapped up in an exciting manner this year. The girls performed their ski rendition of “Bottoms Up” to the SLU boys. They had been working on it for a few weeks and I think it came together quite well for Big Purple. Nice job girls. Check out the video of the girl’s song if you have a minute.

What was more exciting this weekend was our skiing. The girls all did well on Friday and edged out UMPI on Saturday for only the second time this season. Halfway through the season training seems to be paying off well for Saint Mike’s girls. Hopefully we keep seeing progress from all of them. This weekend turned out well for me too. I recorded two decent finishes after a tough week of training. This week should be another good week of training as well.

Early this morning Lary and I made our way to Sleep Hollow to do an interval workout. Snow conditions were slow and soft from the sun and warm temperatures making intervals more challenging. We ended up doing 3 minutes by 8 times. I was pretty beat by the end of the last interval and look forward to having tomorrow off. The girls had today off and are doing intervals tomorrow afternoon. The rest of the week is all about preparing for a freestyle weekend at Middlebury. It’s a 10 kilometer race for men and women followed by a sprint relay on Saturday which should be a lot of fun.

That’s all for now,

Bear
