Hello there fellow skiers, supporters and random people who stumbled across me.

Hopefully I'll be better at writing post more often these days. I'm in Canmore right now with the team, we got here a few days ago and sent all our bags up to the Haig glacier yesterday. We've had a nice easy few days here in the hot sun before we head up on Thursday to join our bags and switch out with the Academy.

Last week was a "rest" week, so I headed home to Rossland to have a break from the team and have some good old home cooking. While I was there I got to watch/listen to them ripping up the main street, do some odd jobs for the parents and a family friend and most importantly got in some fun workouts. One of which was a road ride from Rossland to Wanita boarder and back up, about 1800m of total climb over 70km and 2.5hrs.

Just before I flew home to Rossland we had 2 days of testing, one day in Van in the lab doing lactate testing. Day 2 turned out to be a very wet rollerski TT up to the Olympic park. Improved about 20 seconds in the Double pole and pretty similar time to last time in the 4.6km TT.
