May is nearly at a close along with the first full month of preparation
for winter 2014-2015. I am still unsure of exactly what this coming season
(Sooner than you think!) will bring, but I am training hard for it none the
less. Since the bulk of my racing will be with of the University of New
Hampshire on the college carnival circuit, I have had to alter my training from
previous seasons to accommodate racing in the classic style and taking classes
full time.

This means lots of training hours over the summer to keep my
yearly hours progressing. I am also able to add more variation to my training,
adding workouts like classic style bounding, classic rollerski intervals and
more speeds for cross country sprint racing. I am taking a break from my rifle
right now as a means of clearing my head and making a fresh start. I must admit
that it is nice to not be tied to a biathlon range for interval and easy
combination training. Bottom line: cross country skiing is waayy simpler than
Biathlon.
I am excited to be joining a very strong team this fall and
I am doing all I can to be prepared to do my best for my teammates this winter.
