Happy New Year

As any cross-country skier would know, the new training season begins on May 1st. That means we are now back to ski training again, although I won't start again with my club until the 7th. I have had an extremely restful April, mainly on the couch as I battled the flu for 6 weeks.

Last year's ski season was a huge learning experience for me. I had a lot of ups and downs but got a lot of lessons from it. However I had a great time training and watching world cup races, and I got to travel to some fun places, including Ottawa and Whistler!!

Nationals was also a new learning experience for me, because I got the flu within a week of the first race. I learned a lot about what it's like when things don't work out as planned, and that sometimes you have to sit on the sidelines and just roll with the punches :)

After a racing season that has taught me a lot, I am really looking forward to a summer full of training, I know it will be great! And I've got more motivation than ever :) I am excited to get back on my rollerskis again, and to start hitting the gym! But first, an on-snow camp with my club in Silverstar next week!

Cheers.
