Junior girls looking happy before their Sunday race.
Our final day here in Prince George again gave us great temperatures, around -2 C. No complaints!
ALL raced well. I was very happy to see Fiona race her 7.5 km as she had been battling a chest cold all week. Levi W was very pleased with his race and felt that his fitness level was there for him. Alex, Alan, and Pauline were happy to have the time to get out on course to cheer. Our team handled the climbs and the technical downhills extremely well. We are so proud of everyone.
Manitoba is gaining momentum! Conor 3rd in juvenile 1,
Lisle 3rd in juvenile 2 and Levi N 2nd overall in juvenile boys.
Team pauses for a photo before leaving the Waterfront Lodge.
The journey home was not as long or arduous as the day we left Winnipeg. But Prince George airport does not have a big enough scanner for ski bags which meant a long time spent with EVERY ski bag being zipped open and inspected closely. Good thing we had arrived with a buffer of time to spend on that. I hope they get a big enough scanner for Canada Games next year!
We narrowly made our connection at Vancouver airport, with the departing WJ flight being slightly delayed for us while our PG flight sat on the runway waiting for enough ground crew to receive us. We essentially jogged from one gate to the next, straight onto the next plane. And you guessed it, folks. The skis did not make it to Winnipeg with us . . .and this time neither did any of our luggage. Well anyways we made it back to Manitoba and will enjoy the rest day on this stat holiday! We are hopeful that this will translate into more travel vouchers to go towards future team trips. More "fundraising" - it all works out in the end!!
