Italy continues to treat our team well! After a day and a half of rain (and snow up high), we've had nothing but sunny skies and warm temperatures in the valley. Enthusiasm is so high: it's great to see everyone getting along and excited to train every...

I arrived at “Elinor’s,” as our farmhouse-turned-athlete-compound is known, in the first week of June. My first impression of my new home was highlighted by Hannah’s remarkably good paintings of local scenery, which line the living room walls, and ‘infused’ by the distinctive smells of stale chain saw gas and sweat mingling in the stairwell, [...]
