Getting Ready for Ironwood

The Ironwood camp is rapidly approaching and I am excited to train with the team again but I also greatly enjoy training by myself.  In order to be a successful skier I think you need to like training alone in the forest or on a quiet stretch of road.  I think the hardest part is simply getting out the door and down the driveway.  I my case the following scene  greets me and makes it all the easier.

I also enjoy the simplicity of doing every thing at home. I leave most workouts directly from my house and even lift in the garage and yard.
