Here are some pictures from my recovery week in Ruhpolding.
Of course my recovery week had some training sessions as well, although I trained less then half of what I train in a normal week. Yesterday we also participated in a relay race at German Championships. This was hands down the worst relay that I have [...]

The US Ski Team recently completed their last training camp at the 2010 Olympic Venue before the Games. They were joined by the National Elite Group and the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. A few highlights below. For photos and commentary: Whistler – September Camp Update 2
After three weeks of intense training, I am enjoying an easy week of training on my own before the team meets up again Ruhpolding, Germany next week. Our training camps normally last 3 weeks, but this year we decided on a 7 week Europe camp in order to maximize one on one coaching time and [...]

The wind is full-on grinding me down. It seems as though New Zealand spring, traveling across the Southern Pacific, is locked in battle with our snow bound plateau high in the Southern Alps and for the past four days the wind gusts have been upwards of 85km/hr. Spring is losing, as it remains winter-like up here, but not for lack of effort. With about 5 days of substantial winds bombarding us, I'm starting to worry that if this keeps up my clothes are going to begin to resemble a tattered main sail of an 18th century Spanish Galion nearing retirement; in tatters, stained (in my case from sport drink that blows out of my drink belt in the short span between unscrewing the lid, and lifting it to my lips), weathered and derelict.
