2 weeks away from my first races of the season! I'm getting pretty excited!
The last few weeks I have spent training in Canmore, pulling everything together from the last 6 months of training. I have been skiing on snow since arriving back from Park City, and it just keeps getting better and better!
Here are a couple photos from the "Frozen Thunder" classic sprint race held on October 27th:
Devon Kershaw took the win on the mens side, followed closely by Jess CockneySkiing in Lake Louise (about an hour drive away) started in early November with about 20km of groomed trails. It was a nice break from the 2.5km loop at the Canmore Nordic Centre and made those long distance days a little bit more enjoyable. A week ago my friend Amanda Ammar and I teamed up do a mini training camp out there. It was perfect weather and the snow just kept coming.
Final preparations for the ski season are underway for me during the next couple weeks. This includes lots of intensity, time trails and rest to get my body ready to ski fast. My first races will be a skate sprint, and a classic distance held here in Canmore on Dec 3/4 weekend. Then off to BC to join up with the CXC team and compete in the Norams for the rest of December.
Wish me luck, and thanks for reading!
