Scenes From The Empire State

Here are some of the things that the UAA volunteer assistant coach witnessed while in New York last week:

Team meeting at the girls' house

Corbin skied fast. The US Ski Team was so impressed they invited him to race with them in Europe next month.

Discussing ski selection. Marit seems skeptical.

Hey guys!  I found Murphy Kimball's fan club! They said they only drove seven hours to see Murphy compete. 

Dashe. In the thick of it.

We spent a lot of time in this wax cabin.

Trond and Chase. Mixing drinks for the mass-start 20k.

Dashe. She never stops racing.

Murphy's fan club got what they came for. Murphy on the podium.

Erling is a good sprinter. So he got on the podium too.

When a significant number of your skiers qualify for international trips, you have to discuss logistics with the US Ski Team. Here's Greta Anderson.

Vebjorn Flagstad - friend of the Seawolves.

Michaela Keller-Miller. Former Seawolf. Killer was fast in the classic sprint.

Hermod

Quincy Donley. She's never been a Seawolf. But she's a friend of mine, so she's in this blog.

Erling. At home in his element.

It was raining pretty hard on the classic sprint day. 

Our down parkas are really warm. But they're not waterproof.

Foul weather doesn't keep us from supporting our teammates.

Henry. Offering encouragement to Erling in the semifinal.

Shopping with Ian from Toko. Ian doesn't charge a delivery fee.
