Right now I am halfway through a training camp in Park City with the CXC, and US National Ski Team. We arrived here a week ago to sun and temperatures in the mid twenties. Since then there has been rain, frost, and snow. I guess this time of year you have to be prepared for anything. But for skiers, I think it’s a good thing. It keeps you on your toes. Race season is almost here, and the attitude during training sessions is a little bit more focused, the butterflies start to creep up during intensity, and everyone starts to wonder how they will perform in the up coming race season.
Here are some photos so far from the camp:

The last couple months have been packed full of training. For most of September I was training down in Wisconsin. I trained hard, and accomplished a lot. Here are some photos from that camp:
Doing some speed work on roller skis
Jason Cork working with Jessie on technique
VO2 MAx Testing
Leading a Mobility Warm Up during a session with the local "Ski and Tea" woman's group
Unfortunately I caught a cold my last week there which meant that I was unable to race the Birkie Trail Run, but ran it as an easy workout instead, and took some photos along the way... :)
