Lake Placid
We arived in Lake Placid New York this Monday to begin a training camp with skiers from all around the country. A handful of people flew out here but the rest of the team made the long drive east through Canada. It is sufficient to say we were very happy to finally arrive at the Olympic Training Center.
The 10 days we are out here are going to prove highly demanding. The facitities here are amazing and will help a lot to speed recovery. Everyone is staying a domitories that are attached to a cafeteria, weight room, gym and the like. With all our needs in such close proximity training can be optimized.
Fall is definitely well underway in Lake Placid. It has been cold and rainy the past three days with the occasional snow flake. A little white even covers some of the higher peaks. It really makes it feel like ski season is close at hand as winter tights and jackets are being worn at practice. The cold makes intervals nice. Yesterday we blew out the carbon with 6 x 5 min level 4 up hill intervals. It was definitely one of the harder workouts this year. It felt good though and everyone looked strong.
Hopefully we will get some training pictures up so check back soon.
