Training is in full swing
After a great vacation in April, i knew it was time to get the body back into shape. I started training a little at the end of April to get ready for the early may camp. Moving into our first camp it was planed for 2nd week of may on snow in silver star. We had the luxury of staying down in town on the lake that is. It was a killer place with plenty of room and when you are pool side and lake side and the weather in the mid 20's , no better way to relax.
The skiing at silver star was amazing and the team had some great works out from a mini sprint to and uphill climb ( big props to Mcmur number one baby) We also had some good team bonding on the beach playing volley ball and some paddling as well. I was able to put in some good amount of hours and work on some solid technique as well as haven some fun on the beach.
I have been home for a couple weeks and the roller ski's have made it out of the closet ykes. But it is June 2nd so it's time. Training has been pretty steady with some weight work outs a few runs and bikes. Our new coach Inge brings a great new enthusiasm and he is exciting to have around. The training volume is being ramped up for the next two weeks and today was just an amazing day skiing up at sunshine meadows. The snow pack froze over night which meaning that the crust skiing was perfect and the weather could not be ordered any nicer.
We skied along loop on crust up and down some valley's for about 2 hours. Then we moved onto the groomed track which was a perfect rolling terrain. I was home by noon just in time to enjoy some lunch with my wife. What a day!!!!!
