Next week the time trials move back to Tuesday--which means we'll be able to celebrate Barack Obama's inauguration. Yes We Can!

Last Time Trial of the Bush Era
In bracingly cold conditions, on hard and fast tracks (thanks John, Jim and Tim), we contested the second time trial of the year on Wednesday afternoon. Barney Hodges, returning to the course where he covered himself in college glory, covered himself in bloody gore when his nose sprang a leak at the crest of Battell. Though he pulled up to staunch the flow, he stayed in sight of Ted Hicks at the front of the skate race in roughly 16 minutes. Bill McKibben won a three-way classic contest with a 19:05 time. Congrats to Morris Earle on his first time trial outing.

Wow! It was really great to see the variety and size of all the teams, and groups all over the trail at Rikert tonight. Time-trialists pushing hard across the end line, icicles hanging off noses. The BKL crew zinging around. The college athletes, some fresh back from Alaska warmed the track for the younger skiers. The High school Varsity cruising the 10k. North Branch skiers working technique up Battell. The JV off across the road checking out the fields.
As cold as it was no one, excepts Ted's fingers, were complaining. Thanks everybody, very fun to be apart of.
