After the first races this weekend, big crowds & first time on snow, going back to a normal training week is anticlimactic. I'm in race mode now and just want to race... I don't know about all these distance skis, strength workouts, intervals, let's race again! I know that maintaining my fitness this early in the season is crucial to peaking when I want to later in the season, but I still would rather just race. Luckily, I we have more races in Bozeman this Saturday & Sunday-- ind. skate sprints on Sat and team classic sprints on Sun. We're racing in a park downtown which should be fun. Although I am sad that we won't get to ski at Bohart at all. I would love to get to ski a lap of Logger's Loop again and hit the bohart S-turns fast. Oh well. At least this is the last Big Week for training for us, from now on we get to start backing down the weekly hours so we will be a little more rested for the races.

This morning Caitlin & I are going to practice our team sprint hand-offs!
