(Almost) End Of Summer

I realize it’s only the end of July, but for all practical purposes summer is over for me. Summer in biathlon training world ends after the Jericho Summer Festival, which begins next week. This week marked the end of a tough 6 week training block and began a much needed rest week. During my rest week I will only train 8 hours, less than half of an average training week. After my recovery week I will be hitting the training hard once again with the Jericho Summer Festival and a MWSC camp in Sugarloaf Maine. After those two camps I will head home for a week, before the fall training cycle beings. Since I’m not training this week I have the opportunity to get things done around the house and enjoy some local culture. Ben and I are planning on seeing the University of Maine Fort Kent Kent’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, (review to follow) also this week is the Southern Maine Biathlon Team’s camp here in Fort Kent where I will be an assistant coach. Check back for a critical piece on local theater and updates on the Jericho and Sugarloaf camps.
