As summer cools off, HURT heats up.

There is big news from the Team HURT command center (as reported last night on the "HRT nightly news and world report" , cable channel 243038). The Director has released three September dates for distance training and HURT recruitment. HURT team members are encouraged (recommended/suggested/demanded/implored) to attend as many of the OD Days as possible. Any prospective team prospects are likewise encouraged to join. For details on the training events and maps of the routes please visit http://www.hurtnordicskiing.com/trainingdays.html.



In other news, there has been a leak out of the team command center and some TOP SECRET INFORMATION may have fallen into the hands of the HRT news team (who then promptly sold the information for massive amounts of cash may have seen in the latest issue of World News Report...Hat Nerz wants a new pair of carbonlites). None of the following information can officially be confirmed but this is what we know.

-HURT MAY have offered a big nordic contract to a high profile NYS nordic skier who earns massive amounts of NYSSRA points.
-HURT MAY have likewise offered the family members of "said nordic athlete" similar contracts (also who earn massive NYSSRA points.)
-"Said Nordic Skier" may have years and years of nordic racing experience
-"Said Nordic Skier" may have been responsible for the development of countless youth in in the greater Albany area.
-"Said Nordic Skier" has not officially commented on his status but is currently in negotiations with team attorneys.




Following the report by World News, HRT called the TEam Director for comments.

HRT: Can you confirm the report printed in World News?

D: WHO GOT THIS INFORMATION!!! This was supposed to be the nordic bombshell that would shake the foundations of the nordic world!!! It is a very sensitive situation and we did not want this to go public!! This darn report may end the whole deal before its even done. Unbelievable!

It like coaxing a chipmunk to eat from your hand....if you make big dramatic moves he just runs away! jeesh. I certainly hope this doesn't ruin things for us.

HRT: So you can confirm the report then?

D: Oh...THAT was the question?!? ugh...ugh...ugh...no comment.

HRT: Do you feel like this signing will lock up the team championship?

D: ugh...no comment

HRT: Will this make you faster as a team? can you compete with RNR?

D: ugh......no comment

HRT: Does this have anything to do with Peru Nordic Masters loosing their team facilities and massive amounts of funding?

D: ugh...no comment


As you can see the Director clammed up like a Long Island oyster.
Stay tuned for more updates.
