I seem to talk a lot about the weather in my blogs but I guess that kind of makes sense in a way as I spend so much of my time outside that the weather is a very legitimate concern. That being said, it was started to get cold here in Maine and the rain twice a week or more only gets harder to stomach as it gets colder. But luckily there is an out. On Sunday we head to Utah for a two week training camp. I hear the nights are just as cold but the days really warm up which should be nice. Besides the fact the weather looks pretty good I am excited to be at Soldier Hollow, the site of the 2002 winter Olympics, with both the men’s and women’s national team. A lot of the upper level biathletes in the country normally are in Utah for some duration during October. It should be fun to interact with the Seniors men and see what it takes to race at on the WC and the Olympics and it will be a good test to compare my progress to the other Juniors in the country. The main goal of the camp is to continue to improve shooting and skiing with the added benefit of being at altitude which increases red blood cells which will provide more oxygen to muscles in need which will really be helpful in the skiing aspect of biathlon. I will give a full account of Utah while I am there along with some pictures.
