New Years Relay

I had originally not planned on ski racing this weekend. Then I was invited to join a team called the nordic superheros. The New Year's Relay, at Mt Bachelor, is not like regular ski races. It's more like Halloween, on snow. Our team was the Incredible Hulk (me), Spiderman (Larry) and Batman (Jason). I skied the opening leg, which was classical technique, and the other 2 skate skied. We were first place in the 19+ open category. The defending champion (Beckie Scott) wasn't there. Last year Beckie skied all three legs by herself and won outright, and there were some pretty good teams too, one consisting of 2 former olympians. She retired from ski racing after last season with a number of olympic medals (including gold) and 2nd overall in the world cup last season.
