Ski Camp Weekend

I participated in the Sisu Nordic Ski Foundation ski camp this weekend.  The goal of the camp was to get in a weekend of training with a large quantity of training and technique.  Here are a few highlights:

1.  Friday night skate rollerski technique with video.  (I learned what's been throwing off my balance--video doesn't lie!)
2.  Garrot Kuzzy participated in our Sat. morning lactate threshold intervals up the Coolie in Afton, MN.
3.  Following intervals, Kuzzy led us through an awesome set of classic technique drills.
4.  We got to see photos of Garrot's year of training leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Olympics. 
5.  Watching 4-8 year-olds play soccer and enjoy jumping around with Kuzzy at the Kuzzy kids camp that ran simultaneously with the adult's afternoon strength training and soccer match
6.  Long over distance rollerski in Afton this morning (Sunday morning) while still a little sore from the day before.  Those hills are great.

7.  Thanks to everyone who participated and to the coaches--Ben, Mike, Bruce, and Kevin--for being there all weekend.  Its more fun to train with friends.

Week 2 in CXC period 4 is a recovery week.  Looking forward to it.
