Whitney had today off and we had a good time together. I picked her up this morning and we went to watch the Nordic team compete in the mass start 15k race. We took the school flag, found a good snow pile to put it in, and hung out until the start. We got to see all the racers take off which was kind of cool. They skied off into the trees where apparently there was a good sized hill, they did a loop and came back into the arena, did a loop in the woods and were off for another trek into the wood then they did it again. There were four guys from UMF and the top one came in 13th, which I thought was great (he seemed happy with his finish). I have no idea how they usually do but I thought they did well today.
We briefly saw the sun for a while when we were waiting for the start but then it disappeared and we were left in snow flurries again. It snowed harder off and on today. The weather here has been crazy. It started snowing Tuesday night and basically hasn't stopped. It's gotten lighter but it seems like every time I go outside to go somewhere I have to clean snow off my car. Last night it was 2", this morning it was more like 3", tonight it was surprisingly just a dusting. Hopefully it'll stop tomorrow and there will be good conditions for Whitney's race.
But back to today. After we left the Nordic race we came back to Lake Placid, got lunch, then wandered around in the snowy downtown.
