Eli Brown / Cassidy Edwards clinic. Wow! I simply DON'T understand why people don't take advantage of two great coaches whenever they can. The clinic had a small turnout, which meant lots of individual attention. It was of huge benefit to me to have feedback on what I was doing right and what I needed to improve. Great clinic!

Headed back home after the clinic.

Nordic Fest sprint: 29.78, 2nd fastest time! The course demanded agility and quickness more than anything else. Excellent balanced helped. I still biffed it coming out the corner in the ski-off with Eli Brown when my tip caught the grass.
