First Week Back

Greetings!
last week most of the team got together for our first "camp" we were fortunate enough to have amazing skiing; in June! VANOC had volunteered a groomer and grooming time for our team. We were skiing up near the Callaghan lake lodge close to the venue. With the great conditions we were also able to get in 2 intensity sessions which went great for myself! On the weekend I took part in a learn to train dryland course, part of working on my level 1 coaching course. It was great the course involved a lot of theory crammed into the 16 hour course. I was also asked to "demonstrate" the majority of the dryland activities such as roller skiing and ski walking. All in all I had a great time and picked up a few new skills. Unfortunately I ended up getting a small cold virus by saturday morning which we think may have come from getting extremely chilled on our way down from a ski. (Emily and Sam also were sick the same day I was!) So a few days at this course were great! I feel awesome now (monday night) and am excited to get back into my routine this week! we will be rollerskiing at the venue where there is about 15 km of trails paved and the whole access road. A roller skiers paradise!!! I will keep you updated with all the training I have ahead of me!
until next time!
