Recovery Week

Successful biathlon and cross country skiing requires a huge amount of training. My training, like all other skiers is planned in cycles. Every three weeks I plan a training week with a half to two-thirds of my normal training volume and intensity. This keeps me from getting overtrained and lets me do other fun things. I kicked off this recovery week with a trip to Little Deer Isle, Maine with my family. We enjoyed some ocean shore living and I went on a great sea kayak. Next week kicks off a big training block in Fort Kent. I am currently soaking up all recovery I can.
