Pouring rain Friday...sleet Friday night...snow Saturday...blue skis Sunday
This past weekend had it ALL for the intrepid crew who went out to Rikert for the tune-up races before the next two weekends of JN qualifying. Coach Halligan and PK battled 25 mph wind gusts, ice rain and tricky snow to give the crew slick and kickable boards during the classic sprints on Saturday and inhaled enough cold flouro powder on Sunday to last them at least a couple days.
The pics from Kristen Halligan on Sunday show the scene. Side note - Does any nordic skier's mom make them look as good as Kristen makes Mikey look? She takes some seriously good pictures. #putthatinyourmothersdaycardmikey

Brian Beyerbach skiing to 21st on Sunday
Other swaths of HURT nation spent Sunday at Saratoga Biathon Club for a skiathlon on firm fast conditions. Chris Y, Tim H, Greg S, Eric H and Tyler K laid it down for the HURT squad and kept pace in the NYSSRA points series. With home-race advantage at the Mega-Relay next Saturday and big junior weekends in Lake Placid and Rochester coming up, HURT looks poised to once again stamp their dominance in the NYSSRA points competition.
A great week of weather is coming with snow in the forecast and real nice skiing temps on the weekend. We hope you get in some of the action this weekend!
