WC1- Thurs- A Day of Firsts for ELITEAM
You think we’d have done it all in 20 years, but today we had two firsts. It started early with the 14 year-olds heading out at 6:30am for a first ever morning swim workout at the Bridges Resort. Coach Chad is the Head Lifeguard there and put the group through …
WC1- Wed- “Best Bike Ever”
That was the quote heard all day today. I just might have to agree. For the first time ever ELITEAM rode the bus to Pine Hill Park in Rutland which is a public park that has some GREAT single track trails. With 50 bikes loaded on a trailer along with …

EC2-Wed: Team Victories, Thunderstorms & High-knee-Butt-kicks
Two weeks in a row the thunderstorms rolled in on Wednesday afternoon, but they didn’t stop us from a full afternoon and evening of activities. I am in my room at 9:10 and the boys Dorm is quiet! I think they are tuckered out. It’s always fun to watch the …
