Lake Placid, NY

After a very long car ride, the CXC team made it to Lake Placid, NY, on Monday, September 28th.  We’ve been training very hard and resting well.  The only other nordic team in the training center right now is Sun Valley and we’ve had a little fun playing volleyball and sharing the cafeteria with them.  Unfortunately, we got our butts kicked in Volleyball.  We will continue to work on our serving and hopefully give them a better run next week.

Today we did some very hard itervals up a steep mountain road.  It has rained a lot the past two days and looks like rain the rest of the week.  Today it was snowing in the morining.  I wish I would have brought more warm cloths.
