Off and Running Part Deux

So Heather and her friends kicked off their XC season this afternoon, with an SMS team running wild through the Lowell-Dracut forest under glorious fall skies.

Here they come up the hill to start the race: Notice the war paint on all of the girls, ready for battle

Cresting another hill, Heather gets ready to enter the forest

I'm thinking Braveheart

Barry's got things under control at the forest entrance

Erin readies for her second foray into the forest

Stephanie gets ready for the final lap

The weary warriors, still looking gorgeous at the finish:

Great start, girls, keep up the pace!
