We have been in Whistler for a week now, and its flown by!
On Monday we did an extremely hard rollerski sprint race around the Olympic course. Between the rounds I closed my eyes and pictured snow, packed stadiums, racers from all over the world, and I could feel the Olympic fever burning inside me! Then I opened my eyes, lined up on the start line and hammered around the course with a world champion (Kikkan Randall), awesome teammate Liz Stevens, and an impressive junior skier Sadie Bjornson.
This morning we faced the rain and turned up the intensity with about 45 minutes of 30 second sprints followed by a couple longer threshold intervals. I’m feeling pretty tough now!!! This afternoon we will be heading over to the gym to do some strength training!
