Another Thanksgiving Camp in the books. This was a particularly successful one - we had decent skiing the whole time, and we accomplished lots of good training and some productive technique work as well. Getting a race under our belts was bonus points. Best of all, everyone stayed healthy - this might be a first for our team. I'm really happy with how our team looks right now. Our returning skiers have made huge technique gains in the past year, and I can't wait to see how this translates into race speed. Fitness is coming along as well - we're definitely not in peak racing form right now, but with some good hard training in December we should get there in time for the first carnival. Team chemistry is really good as well. All told, a very good camp, and one that has me feeling really optimistic about the coming season.
A couple other noteworthy camp items: First, in spite of an impressive final dinner from the Mavericks (Turkish kebabs with some kind of homemade cheese bread), the Dudefish earned the win for their enchiladas. Great performances by all, though - certainly the best meals I've had at any training camp. Also, I'm pleased to announce that Grace is the recipient of the coveted Jeffrey Bush Skier of the Week award. Her capable van driving, occasional French speaking, and general take-charge leadership contributed greatly to the success of our camp. Well done, Grace!
