Putting in some hours after the race. Great trails in Orford
After having a great Christmas i traveled to Thunder Bay Ontario for some Noram races and to find out who would get the last spot for the World Champs team. I was feeling good heading into thunder bay and skied a great Classic part of the first race which was a Pursuit 30km. The winner of that race punched his ticket to world champs. It was tough battle and it came down to a lunge which George grey won Congrats buddy.

Then was a classic sprint which i was looking forward to. It was tough to get going due to the cold weather, by the time the final rolled around i was more excited to race but was in tough to make it to the top of the podium Brent M. ski very well and took the win. After arriving back home we had the team announced and we where starting to plan out training camps. We started with a sunshine camp which was fun but was not going to work out for some reasons that where out of our control.
The boys have a good time up at sunshine
For me the next plan was to get as many races in as i could before we leave and get some good training in as well. So the last two weeks have been volume weeks and this week had a little less volume and mini tour in Quebec. Next week is finally a rest week which my body needs i will take part in the mini tour in BC.
Interesting accom's at Mnt.Orford.
I will be just doing the the two short races to make sure i am rested heading over to Norway on the 9th of Feb. I am super excited to for this opportunity to race a world champs in Norway the experience will be pretty crazy. We get a great warm up world cup race in Drammen which is not that far away from Oslo and it will have all the top contenders and more.
