Back To Work
We got back to work last week with our first official practice of the summer. Everyone was ready to rock so we wasted no time and got down to business with our baseline test. It was good to see the returning athletes trying to better there previous results and it was awesome seeing all the new comers riding the “Pain Train”.
(It's all about setting goals and working hard to achieve them! Most of our athletes goals are to make it to JO's next year in Minneapolis.
I have to say that I’m really excited about this summer. We have a great group of kids and I can tell already they are ready to work. We started roller skiing this week and everyone is looking great! Here are the results from the baseline test. We had a couple of conflicts since school is still in session but almost everyone was able to make it. We should have anther solid group taking the test soon including the Senior Team!

Season Recap
I don’t know where to start. The season has come and gone in what seemed like a number of day’s not months. That’s how it always seems to happen. You have a huge build up of training, preparation, equipment, goals, excitement and then before you know it has all past and instead of reflecting on what has happened you start to plan on making it happen next year.
For me and the team it was an exciting and emotional season with exceptional results, great trips, and memories that will last a life time. I don’t want to spend a lot of time going over all of the results that we were able to achieve but a few stick out in my mind.
For starters the junior team had a great season. All of the juniors that were part of the summer program raced in Sectionals and of those all of them but one represented Section Five at the state meet. At the state meet Reed had a great race and was 4th, Stefan had one of the best races of his young career and finished 6th, Adam also had a great race and proved that he continues his rise to the top finishing in 9th. Not to be out done the girls had great races as well. Alyssa was on the Podium finishing 3rd as a J2!!! Amy also had a great race showing that her results this season were no fluke following Alyssa on the results sheet in 4th, Katie also had a great race showing that her hard work and dedication the last four years was worth it finishing 6th, Kathryn also had a great race finishing 26th keep an eye out for her in the years to come as she will be moving up the results sheet!
To say it was an impressive day for the kids was a massive understatement. It yet again proves the point that to be a successful skier you have to have a year round training plan.
After states the juniors and I headed to Presque Isle for JN’s. It ended up being a great trip. The kids really got after it and had some great results. I know they are already chomping at the bit to get going this summer with there eyes set on JN’s next year in
The senior team also had a great year representing R.N.R from local NYSSRA races to World Team Trails in
I can’t recap the season without mentioning the loss of Peter Cannon. As many of you know all ski communities are small and tight niche. There are none tighter than that of the

Placid Post
It was a big weekend of racing for the R.N.R gang as we made the trip north to the Olympic
The morning of the Skate race we should have known we were in for it as we pulled out of the driveway headed for the venue and got a classic
As we arrived at the venue the A1 cluster F%$#@ was already in full swing! The cold temps overnight had everyone running around switching wax and trying to find more clothes. By the time the first starter was off the sun was out and it was a picture perfect day. The juniors had a big day as they looked to lock of there position on this years JO team. Reed led the way for the boy’s while Alyssa and Amy threw it down in the girl’s races! The senior team did not ski up to expectation and it was decided that to make up for it we would ski the first ½ of the Loppet course in preparation for the upcoming race. Since we really had no idea where we were headed we recruited Jacked Up to give us a tour of his stomping ground. It seemed like we went up a lot of big hills so I’m not really sure if he took us on the real loppet course or his own loppet course! It was a good ski and we even found a few surprises out on the trail. Jacked Up was getting hungry and as usual decided to prey upon the weak!! Law of the jungle baby!
(Only the strong survive)
When we returned to the "JR" we were treated to a first class meal prepared by Amy, Stefan, and Rob. After dinner we had a bunch of visitors stop over and it was great to catch up with everyone. I caught a little grief for not keeping up with the blog but i'm not going to mention any names (Gabby)!
Sunday was the 15k mass start classic race. It was a quality suffer-fest for most. There was an early move by the boys from Craftsbury and the rest of us were forced to give chase. We had a good chase pack of 8-10 unfortunately
As usual the NYSEF crew put on a great event and it was hard to leave and make the trip south. What was even worse than leaving Lake Placid was what I awoke to this morning 55 degrees and pouring rain, needless to say the skiing in
(Some were more tired than others on the trip home "Big Baby a.k.a Coin Game Winner")
