There was a tour group in the lobby when we got back from our morning workout. Apparently the OTC is a bit of a tourist stop. They get to see the athlete's natural habitat. Or what they think is their natural habitat; really super good athletes are all over, not just in OTCs. They also have a lot of Olympic memorabilia and old equipment (actually, the entire town of Lake Placid seems to have a thing whith decorative bobsleds). The tour guide happened to be explaining cross country skiing to the group at one of the wall displays of ski equipment. Her spiel went something like this: "It's the type of skiing where you go up hill... you don't go up any big hills, just rolling ones." Kuzzy and I exchanged a look.
