TAMC Races

I found out what TAMC stands for: The Aroostook Medical Center, and they're being big sponsors of these races. Apparently. Here's our race schedule:

Wednesday 5pm Skate Team Sprints at Caribou High School Venue
Friday 11pm 10km/10km mst pursuit at Nordic Heritage Center
Sunday 9am 30km mst skate at Nordic Heritage Center

The men race 30km at 9 on Friday and 50km at 11 on Sunday.

The venue here in Presque Isle is pretty amazing. There's really nice permanent wax cabins for each team and a nice lodge in the stadium. There's even stands in the biathlon stadium, which is unusual to see in the U.S. They held World Junior Biathlon Champs here last year so it's a nice Biathlon venue also. Makes me want to pick up the ol' Anshutz. Actually, there is a rumor that there's going to be a try-biathlon day sometime this week where the club will bring out some biathlon rifles and let us try shooting, so that will be a fun taste of another sport.

I'm getting a little apprehensive the long races coming up. The sprint is an exhibition-just-for-fun race and not actually part of US Distance Nationals. (Although, aren't all races just for fun?) It will be interesting to see how (and if) I survive the long races... I haven't exactly been doing a whole lot of distance training lately! I'm planning on hanging out in the back of the pack and enjoying the ski.
