A Place to Start


I have just returned from a very successful and fun camp in Jericho, Vermont. I have participated in this camp for the past 4 years, and this time around was by far the most fun. I trained with a great group of athletes under the guidance of Algis Shalna. Algis is an Olympic Gold Medalist, and an excellent coach.
 The atmosphere at the camp was great, as a group we did a great job of finding ways to entertain ourselves between training sessions. The races where not excellent from a results standpoint, however I am in the right place fitness wise and I made some good adjustment to my shooting. Looking ahead I am shifting my training focus from easy distance training to more intensity and speed training. I will also be making a trip up to Fort Kent for a short training camp. Thanks to Sean Halligan for the race shots from the races.
