-Where is the team bus?
-How come we have no snow gun at Crandall Park?
-Where are the millions from the Tri-HURT-athon?
-Does Aaron even care about supporting the athletes?
Many of these questions were raised in parallel with internal changes with USSA and the reporting staff here at HRT News room doesn't feel it was a coincidence. It didn't help that Aaron was repeatedly spotted with USSA director John Farra after budget woes hit USA skiing. Many HURT faithful questioned whether it was the lack of team financial support that stymied attempts to put HURT team members on the NYSSRA podiums. What if Aaron hadn't invested in Fast Wax Bronze?!?!?! and went for Ski-Go or Holmenkol?
It came to a steaming boil a few weeks ago week when Aaron left sister and the teams only Senior female skier Emma Huneck stranded in Europe. Aaron kept spouting the fact the volcanic ash had made things truly impossible. But many insiders in the HURT camp feel The Director could have done more
T. Huneck: "doesn't the team bus he promised us double as a fan boat?...Is this a sign of things to come? Will he just ignore our needs?"
Austin Huneck: "I don't think he really even wanted her back...its a big sister, little brother thing...ya know."
E. Huneck: "Whateva...psh....its freakin France....this article is lame."
R. Clarke: "Is this why i didn't get my M9 medal at ESG's?!"
When asked to respond all the Director could say was "WHAT!!!...its a volcano people....a volcano!!!"
Despite the early season controversy. Athletes have been getting back into action. Tetlows finding soild running form and Kvam has been building up the bike miles. Goals have been set: TEAM CHAMPS AND TOP REALY TEAM IN 2011! Rochester is the clear talent mark and a reloading and rebuilding Peru is still on the radar. Time to get out and get it on!
OFFICIAL TEAM TRAINING BEGINS WEDNESDAY. MAY 12th.
MEET WEDNESDAY: SPAC....TRAIL RUN...and strategic planning. 5pm parking lot near the Gideon.
Recently it was discovered the Director may have not only left his sister in France, he may have done something to strand her in the first place. Evidence includes receipts from the Hotel Goofinoffeneysendorfyn near the volcano the day before the blast. He was also seen leaving the country with a giant box of baking soda and a huge bottle of vinegar.
ReplyDelete"He said he was going on a recruiting trip," said Austin, "but I don't know why he needed all that baking soda. He's pretty good in Earth science, you know."
We'll keep you up to date on details in this smoldering scandal at Wednesday's run/planning meeting.
If we can rein him in, those earth science skills could be put to good use next racing season.
