 to prepare for and began coaching junior high track. On a couple weekends I’ve gone and checked out Seattle music scene as well.</p><p>Last week I got away and headed south to hills outside Santa Barbara. I was in the Santa Ynez Valley, Southern California’s wine country, and spent a week with a couple college friends working on a sunburn, sailing, and a little imbibing. </p><p><B>Torin, any changes for next year’s training? </B><br />Honestly, probably not too much. I’ve scheduled in a bit more volume, plus a couple more of the longer Vo2 max type interval type sessions in the summer and fall. Perhaps the biggest difference will be in strength and power development training — I am placing a greater emphasis on upper body strength this season.</p><p><B>Juniors look up to you and follow your results and racing. Any words for them?</B><br />First, you’ve got to want it that badly. Second, use every day to get one day better. Not two days better everyday for a week or a month or a summer and burn out. But just one day better. Everyday. I also remember what the former US ski team coach Trond Nystad told me – there’s a certain quality to quantity. </p><p><B>There’s a rumor you have been taking classes during the summer at Westminster for your Master’s degree. How’s that coming along?</B><br />It’s true. The past two summers I’ve lived in Salt Lake and taken a couple courses, working on my Masters. This summer, however, the streak comes to an end. I just miss the pear orchards and pine trees and water of the Pacific Northwest too much.</p><p><B>Any last words?</B><br />I can’t wait for the Canadian World Cups. Hope to see many of you there.</p><p><center><img src=)
