Nordic Combined Canada

Sorry for talking a great long time to get this blog rollin again, life has just been pretty crazy!!. Between glacier camps, school and early season skiing there hasn’t been too much time to update the fans. My apologies

Much has happened since my last post. I have been on two glacier camps, a trip to Park City and back, and fantastic early season training in Canmore. Not only have I been training, but I have also been working on finishing my first university course, Biol235 (Human Anatomy and Physiology). This course was very stressful, but thankfully I was able to compete it in time for this upcoming season. It was a huge relief to pass and move on with the course.

The glacier camps were very beneficial, making the transition between roller skiing and skiing on snow very easy and the time on snow is invaluable. Also it is so nice to ski on snow rather then having to run or roller ski.

I have been very fortunate this fall to have been able to use the Elms house in Canmore, to get in the best possible training. It is very difficult in Calgary to get in quality training between summer training and winter training. In Canmore though the training is really good, and it has given me a huge boost of confidence coming into the season.

We have just finished our first time trial of the season, not quite the confidence booster I was hoping for. It is however the first effort of the winter so I am not to concerned about the feeling. I am excited to see how this will carry forward into the racing season.

We are preparing for our last session in Park City tomorrow, then it is off to Steamboat for the first events of the season. I am very excited to compete in Steamboat, it has been a very long time since I have jumped or raced there. I have always had good luck skiing there, and hopefully I can keep good feelings.

The season is just around the corner, Off to the races!!!

Carpe Diem
