SKIING!!!! at WOP

Well the skiing at the Callaghan Nordic Center is great! We received about 35 cm a few days ago and have been skiing since. Erik took this shot of me skiing at the Biathlon Loop:

Skiing the Biathlon Loop @ WOP

...Kinda looks like winter!!! Today we were unlucky and got some rain, We are hoping to stay skiing at the venue until we leave for Silver Star for the season openers on Sunday. If the rain kills all the snow we will have to ski up higher on the Callaghan road up towards Callaghan Country Lodge. until next time!

I'm Back!!!

Well I am happy to report that after an agonizing 8 days of no training I am BACK!!!! I had a great ski today at the Callaghan Valley Nordic Center. Sam, Alistair and I headed up there bright and early at 7 am....ya ouch....Anyway the skiing there is only snowmobile packed at the moment but they are expecting more snow by Tuesday....from the forecast I would say rain...Even though I hope for snow!!!!! Well I had some great downtime in Kamloops, even though I was sick but I think it was the perfect thing for me to do with the situation I was dealing with. It was tough being sick and not able to train...especially 2 weeks from the season openers at Sovereign Lakes. I had some great distractions and had some excellently needed Chilaxin' time!!!
In the next two weeks I will find myself starting to fine tune my final preparations before the races begin. I will have to alter things just a little bit from the original plan, due to getting sick, but I am confident things are going to go great for me! Well at least I hope so....haha. Anyway I should think about heading to bed....

Cheers!

Fallen of the face of the blog World...Again.

Well once again I have had quite the gap in my updates...My apologies! So my last update was talking about the rain that had blessed us finally. Well I am happy to say that I can write about the snow that has dusted Silver Star Mountain resort! I have been skiing there since Monday and the skiing has been very very good considering the base they have. Luckily enough the Egan family has taken me in and been super amazing hosts! A huge thanks to them! I decided to take a rest day today (Wednesday), and hang out and get caught up on little things...such as my blog. Lucky you! Anyway to back track a bit, the fall has been super positive for me with lots of great workouts with the other guys on the team and some great downtime as well. I would like to take a second to say a BIG thank you to Hampton Lumber Mills and M. McPhail & Associates Inc.. for jumping on board with me and helping me out with some Donations! Without great people like you I wouldn't be where I was today or able to pursue my goals! Well unfortunatly I only have one photo for you for now its a grimacing photo of myself about 50 reps into 100 on our roller board in Squamish...enjoy...or something hahaha.


Obviously I will try to get some skiing pics up asap! until next time!!!
