Classes started yesterday - business as usual. With everyone's varied schedules, we're running two sessions a day to allow almost everyone to ski every day. I took a group out for the morning session today. The skiing was great in spite of a warm spell and some rain last week - good coverage, and fast but not icy. We were skating, but the snow looked dry enough for hard wax. Hard to believe. Pineland is amazing - we're lucky to be so close. Couldn't ask for a better training situation.
No carnival this weekend - instead, we'll be racing the Chummy Broomhall Cup at Black Mountain. Most of the skiers will stay on campus for the weekend and drive up on Sunday for the race, which will serve as the Maine State Championships. With minimal travel on the horizon, we're taking the opportunity to put in a slightly higher volume week with some threshold workouts. The goal is to rebuild the fitness base a bit after several weeks of hard training and racing - just enough to get through the rest of the season.

Nate--one of the factors you missed as a reason for volume and thresholds is sickness----have you ever counted total lost days during the camp---it is a big number!!!
