As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been spending some extra time with my shooting and I set out for this camp to be a working period. After a full summer of training this is the time to retune my skiing and shooting techniques before I head into a pre-competition phase of training later in the fall. It is quite a transformative time and I will be happy to emerge from it at the end of this camp. Needless to say my races were an important part, not necessarily to race, but to work on an improved shooting process at a high intensity .

It couldn’t have been a better evening to be out on the lake: the sunset was big, wide, and spectacular and the lake was (uncharacteristically) calm and quiet. Once out to the island we were greeted by the folks who run a small hotel in an old 1800’s swedish castle. After a tour of the Swedish countryside and lake, we returned back to the city and to a traditional Swedish /spanspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-family:arial;”ispan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size:medium;”sm/span/i/spanspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=” font-style: italic; line-height: 19px; font-family:sans-serif, -webkit-fantasy;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-family:arial;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size:medium;”ö/span/spanspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=” font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia, fantasy;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-family:arial;”ispan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size:medium;”rg/span/i/spanspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=” font-style: italic; line-height: 19px; font-family:sans-serif, -webkit-fantasy;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-family:arial;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size:medium;”å/span/spanspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=”line-height: normal; “span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-family:arial;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size:medium;”sbord/span/span/spanspan class=”Apple-style-span” style=” font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia, -webkit-fantasy;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-size:medium;” dinner.
