Sugarbush Triathlon
4/17/2006

Today's page is comprised of contributions from first-year Spanish teacher Dani Lejnieks, who emailed this material with this opening line: "Here's how I spent Easter weekend..." She starts coloring eggs with girls in her dormitory, but then, "...late Friday night I was recruited to be the fourth member of an all female Proctor team heading to Sugarbush to compete in the 28th annual Sugarbush Triathlon (which deceptively has four events instead of three). I ran the first leg of the race, a five mile run from Warren Vermont along Route 100 towards Sugarbush." The run is followed by a 10 mile paddle down the Mad River. Ninth grader Lia Arnzen competed in this event, and then sprinted to tag Vanessa Emery, who biked 10 miles up hill. Here, Corrine Cline took over for the steep, two-mile ski to the finish line:

"While we weren't competing we cheered on Ron Shildge, who impressively competed in the Iron Man Class, finishing all four events in just under 2 hours and 50 minutes."

"After the race we stuck around for the awards ceremony where Proctor earned 2nd place among all-female teams with a kayaker."

"This was the real reward though. A barbecue with huge brownies, cheese, and soda!"

"Corrine really liked the potato salad."

"It started off like a typical Easter... dying eggs in the dorm with the girls (in the dorm)."
After running, "... I met up with Lia Arnez who paddled 8 miles down the Mad River."
"Lia exited her boat and sprinted towards the start of the bike race."
"Where Vanessa Emery was anxiously waiting to start her 10-mile leg of the race."
"... the second half of Vanessa's race was all uphill, headed towards the base of Sugarbush."
"There she met up with Corrine Cline, who, happy to see snow again, sprinted towards her cross-country skis."
"Corrine completed a slushy and very steep 2 mile course in just 26 minutes."
Huge brownies!
"And then of course when we got back we had to celebrate our victory in the traditional Proctor way."
"Then up early Sunday morning... sore, but not too sore to enjoy what the Easter bunny had left for us."
