It's another chilly day in Maine, thus the fleece cape my younger son is wearing...I want one of those!
The boys did great in their races. Younger brother doesn't really like classic style races, but he came alive out on those trails and placed 109 out of 141 with a smokin' time of 21 mins 36.5 seconds. Older brother had a mishap during warm-up and broke the binding on his ski and his boot! In 34 years, Coach told me he has never seen such a thing happen before. Very fortunately, he was able to borrow boots from one person and skis from another and race anyway! He placed 25th with a time of 16 minutes 32.5 seconds. He was disappointed, but I told him to be proud of himself for continuing on and trying his best. A lot of athletes would have given up!
