"Owt and Abowt" (Out and About)

Checking in from the Big Sky Country! Akeo and I just got back from the magical land of Canada. After jamming 40 hours of training into 10 days, I think I can speak for both of us when I say that rest weeks are the bomb! We were in the Canmore/Banff, Alberta area working at the nordic "centre" and exploring the breathtaking Canadian Rockies.
We got to work with some guest stars on the trip: Leif Zimmermann, Bettina Gruber (Swiss National Team Athlete), and Torin Koos. It was an awesome opportunity to chase these guys all week and hear stories about world their impressive world cup and olympic experiences!
It was a great trip, but I'm not sad to be home dialing it back for a few weeks! I can't believe how soon we'll all be back on campus! I know that Akeo leaves this weekend(!!!) but not till after he runs a 20 mile race across the top of the Bridgers with more than 5000ft vert in gain to the ridge before dropping 7000ft on the other side! Wish him luck everyone!
See ya'll soon!
