Every week after returning from the glacier APU has a recovery week where we get to do whatever type of non-specific training on our own, with no team training for the week. Erik likes to look at it as a mental and physical break throughout the periods of training. This week break is a good opportunity to either take a vacation or take advantage of getting in some good quality hours of work. After July glacier camp I opted to stay in Anchorage and work really hard for the week while enjoying doing other activities like swimming and rollerskiing with some UAA buddies. This August though, I decided to get the best of both worlds so I came home and did some work for my dad while getting in a little “vacationing” time as well. It was nice to spend some time with the family while soaking in a little heat and sun. Yesterday was record breaking for the most rain ever in Alaska…. so I think it is safe to say we don’t get a whole lot of summer in AK. I am headed back to AK tonight, as we start testing week tomorrow. Time to test and asses our progress so far this summer!!div style=”text-align: center;”div style=”text-align: left;”br //divspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-weight: bold;”div style=”text-align: center;”br //divspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-weight: normal; “a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TGgiLKWfVFI/AAAAAAAAAbc/hFlH0y1lu5E/s1600/P1000044.JPG”img src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TGgiLKWfVFI/AAAAAAAAAbc/hFlH0y1lu5E/s320/P1000044.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505688119613019218″ style=”display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; ” //a/spanRollerski up to the Lake- swim across the lake three times… typical methow training./span/divdiv style=”text-align: center;”br //divdiv style=”text-align: center;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-weight: bold;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-weight: normal; “a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TGgh4Len5iI/AAAAAAAAAbM/KwajSN9gOTI/s1600/P1000038.JPG”img src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TGgh4Len5iI/AAAAAAAAAbM/KwajSN9gOTI/s320/P1000038.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505687793498056226″ style=”display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 166px; ” //a/span/span/divdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2018521813175454198-7726564161379227599?l=sadiebjornsen.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
