Another ridiculously warm week with some good training. We did a pair of speed workouts on the bike path - the team looked great in their striding sprints on Tuesday. Today's V1 sprints highlighted some things that need work, but overall the team is looking snappy and strong in their movements. We also did a pair of trail runs, one of which was a run/bounding mystery interval session on the Mt. Ararat trails. I tend to overlook these trails when scheduling workouts, since we have some other great options, but they're pretty sweet - nice rolling terrain with some rugged roots and rocks, and a great sandy section that's a pretty tough slog. All in all, a good not-too-hard week to help people bounce back from camp.
We were also lucky to have an alumni visitor this week: Nick was back East visiting from Fairbanks, and he dropped in to help out with a couple workouts. Nick has his hands full these days - in addition to his assistant coaching responsibilities with FXC, he's also coaching the
Lathrop High School team, alma mater of some truly outstanding skiers. Go Malemutes!

"Jeff going off-piste. He can do this because he speaks French." This made me laugh so spontaneously that my mocha latte came out my nose. Just thought I'd share that :)
