I have put in my first week of classes and am settling into life here in Bozeman. The place is awsome, all hippies and outdoor enthusiats. And, finally, I have met the team.
Overall I would describe them as really positive, passionate people. We had a team dinner at the surprisingly plush Norweigan boys house, all pasta and salad and general team dinner fare. There are 10 or 12 freshman total, two boys and a van load of girls. Everyone is super friendly, if not equally intense about their skiing.
Today we went to a run. Most of us weren't registered, so we ran along and cheered for those who managed to get the paper work in on time. The course was killer, practically striaght up these mountain faces, then follow a ridge or plumet down the other side for a total of seven miles. At the end you have to cross train tracks, and about half the field was cut off by a train. Then you have to go through a river, ice cold and just under waist deep to finish. We all had a pretty good time.
Practices will be starting soon. We have a couple more meetings and are waiting on some paper work stuff to clear, but I am really excited to start fall training! Next week we run from Bridger to the M!
