With a rough estimate of 160 weeks of collective running camp attendance, this edition of masters week is going strong. Coach Pete Larson educated the runners on exercise physiology, footwear and form with terrific video to illustrate his points. Pete produced detailed video analysis from the track which drove home his earlier talk and let us see exactly what happens biomechanically when we run fast.  The relay as its usual highlight with 6 teams moving their baton around the oval.

What a difference a week makes! Yesterday's Endurathon Day was 30 degrees cooler than last week's oven:  we did it all on a breezy 64 degree day. With a new hike option some of us were on Mt. Hor and the rest trekked the traditional Mt. Pisgah hike. Yummy ice cream at Willoughby Lake General Store fueled us for the last task - the 10.5 mile ride back to Craftsbury from Irasburg.  Plenty of  running and fun still ahead, the week is young!
