June 26, 2010 - Jasper, Alberta Update

Jasper is one my all-time favorite places to visit and train. Beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers and the great company of Peri, Dasha and Sarah Daitch made yo-yo #2 a great one.

Rollerskiing, road riding and running were the activities on this 3 day camp and even when I was somewhat "losing it" after several hours of training at altitude I was always appreciative to be doing something that is a dream for many. Supported rides to Jasper with companies such as Backroads are really popular and here was the national ski team doing it as our job. Thanks to Joel, Eric and James for the support out there!

Overall training has been hard but also well-executed with the right goals at the right times and I'm half done this big crazy camp... yowza!

On my days off training I have been hammering on Fast and Female meetings with Kikkan and Marie-Helene (executive director of Fast and Female) and I have to say that the 2011 calendar of events is going to be bigger and better than ever with 14 events in North America. Stay tuned and stop by www.fastandfemale.com and subscribe to our news and check www.twitter.com/fastandfemale for fun tidbits.

Thanks for checking in,
