On Sunday after a 3 hour classic rollerski with Laura Dewitt, Dan and I drove to the Twin Cities for a couple days. It was a short but good trip. I went on a nice road bike ride with my dad and I spent the majority of  Tuesday sleeping, reading and holding my parent’s couch to the floor. It was awesome.  The last two weeks of training were pretty intense with intervals and volume so I needed a couple days to recover. This week is a smaller training week with the focus being on easy training, technique work and level 3 intervals.
