First DP Test!

It was a beautiful evening for some good old-fashioned hard work DPing up Annursnac Hill.  A great turnout.  A few photos:














Sometimes its a long way to the top of the hill!

Rain and Dampness

I had a nice 30 min. roll before practice and it didn't rain.  As soon as we started practice, it started to rain.  Oh well, at least I stayed dry for a while.  The rain did not dampen anyone's spirits though and we had a good specific strength workout.  Post-workout photos missing Julia K, Leah and Cate, who had to get Julia to the train on time:

Thursday Specific Strength

A few photos from this evening's specific strength workout.  We had a big turnout, no one called the police, and the bugs aren't out yet.  A perfect evening!  I have a new camera, which I'm still trying to figure out, thus the less than optimum quality.
Julia, too fast for the camera

Barnburner in Littleton

Wow, where did spring go.  40s and pouring last weekend to 90s this weekend.  Such is springtime in New England!  A big turnout today, even without all the kids that were off taking SATs.  It was a hot one, even before we got started, so a relaxed pace and shorter loops.
Lily and Lydia lying on the pavement on a hot day.....hmmmm

Liza, Rosie and Doro relaxing
