UVM!

Rizzle in the house again!!! Here are some awesome photos (courtesy of my mother photographing my life this weekend...) from the UVM carnival at the Trapp Family Lodge this past weekend. It was a beautiful weekend, so much sun and awesome super fans!

Here are the lovely ladies (minus Silke) of BIG PURPLE!!

The Super fans!

Overall it was an awesome weekend. The sun was out both days, though it was out in full force for Saturday! It was the first 15K of mine and Gabby's life which was interesting. For those of you whom have never raced a 15K, you should. It's an experience. Takes time to figure out how to race it, but in the end I found it to be fun. I'm looking forward to the 15K at Dartmouth next weekend! In comparison, the 5K skate on Saturday seemed like a sprint. One loop around the 5K race course and you were done!

We had a good group of cheerers come out! My entire family, old skiers Josh and Claire, Pat from the XC team, and a bunch of Sam's suitemates/friends. Big Purple definitely made some noise!

Don't forget to check out Sam's blog for some more pictures from the weekend!

Well, I'm off, got plenty of homework to do! Until next time, Poles up Poles up, Pocket full of dreams!
