Northside Update…
So, I just got back from the soggy pacific northwest, Whistler BC to be exact. I spent the last 12 days there mostly training at the Whistler Olympic Park which will host the Nordic Events for the upcoming Olympics. The camp was fast and furious. No rest days, chucked with intensity, and two a days aplenty. I handled the load quite well and chalked up a 21.5 hour workweek for the books. We got in a classic sprint time trial on the actual sprint course and a 10k uphill skate roller ski time trial, which we ran on the access road up to the venue. I also knocked out some quality speed sessions, a decent mountain bike ride on the comfortably numb trail, and got huge in the gym. Pretty much your standard fall camp schedule. The weather wasn’t all bad either; we got a great stretch of sun for the entire first half of the camp and only had to battle the elements for the last couple of days.
Now it’s back home for a much needed recovery week. In the upcoming weeks the intensity training is really ramping up and will carry right into my next camp scheduled for Oct. 1 over in Lake Placid, NY.
