Team Grasshop piled in the Sprinter during the wee hours Sunday, bound for Storrs Hill. Blessed with plastic from a former life on the Lake Placid K90, the K25 in Lebanon NH shows true signs of character. These include, but are certainly not limited to:
- No snazzy porcelain track
- Bumpy landing hill due to a 2x4" retaining system
- Some (read: lots) of organic matter poking up through the plastic
Convinced that good training and competition on this hill would make 'em all a whole lot tougher, Team Grasshop put up a heck of a fight against some of the top Master's jumpers on the East coast. Following a trial and two-to-count event on the hill, the Hoppers then swarmed the streets of Lebanon, negotiating a hilyl 1.4 mile run course to determine who would don the olive wreath as 2011 NE Nordic Combined champion.
All athletes did an excellent job on a spankin' new hill for 'em--kudos. New skills in the bag. And just wait for winter!
