Hannah and Chris Head for Craftsbury

We zoomed away from Chris’s house at 6:30 on the dot – exactly according to plan. What didn’t go according to plan is when we also zoomed onto the wrong part of Route 3 approximately 45 minutes later. After several anxious attempts to get back onto the Everett Turnpike and one confused yet helpful gas attendant later, we made our way back onto 93 North as desired.


Me: Um, can you help us get onto 93?
Her: North or South honey? [eye-roll-type glance]
Me: Oh…. North.
Her [coming out to gas pump]: The first four times it said Card Invalid; the next two times it said Invalid Card.

After that, with smooth driving, no traffic, easy navigation (VT is a piece of cake), beautiful views, and ample use of cruise control, we arrived at Craftsbury at 11:00 – thirty minutes ahead of schedule.

Craftsbury!

Hannah Busting a Gut

As the first New Englanders to arrive, we received a warm welcome from Janice and then Hannah did a VO2 max test on the erg machine. Hard but a valuable test.

Other afternoon activities included a short run, blong ball (kinda like horseshoes…), badminton, soccer, REALLY good food, and swimming.

David Sinclair adds, “I scored a lot of goals in soccer today!!”

Welley Ramsy says, “Hold up a second, I’m gonna think up a good quote.”

That’s all folks.
