I trust our initial race for this season was rewarding for your “race family.” Blandford, the Host Mountain, provided a superb race venue. As was apparent, they have been struggling to retain snow as most areas in Southern New England have witnessed thus far. Surface conditions held up well for both morning and afternoon runs. As a result, very few errors were committed by Catamount racers, as was the case for racers in general. Every Catamount racer deserves a pat on the shoulder and a hug for the smiles and positive attitude they brought to the race venue.

A big thank you is in order for our IC coaches for their commitment in assisting your racers’ preparation for the Blandford race. Given the lean snow conditions thus far, and minimal training opportunities to date, our coaches also deserve a tap on the shoulder and a hug as well. More to come regarding the results from Blandford.

Regards,
John Greaser
