Estonia

The skiing here in Otepaa has been bomber the past few days with cold temps and really hard classic tracks. It’s been pretty cold a few days but nothing too intense, just great extra blue skiing. The first two days here I just got in some easy distance training on the Tartu marathon course… it’s an awesome track that runs 65k’s through the Estonian country side.

On Wednesday Stefan Kuhn and I hammered out some level 4 intervals together here on the sprint course. I guess at this point it’s kind of the norm, but this course is a long tough one because of it’s signature finishing stretch which feels like an eternity when you’re tired. So during intervals we tried to work on some strong double pole finishes and get used to the way the course skis. Since I’m the only US athlete here this weekend things haven’t been too exciting although we do get to eat lunch and dinner over at the Bunker. yeah the bunker. Anyone who has seen this place knows what I’m talking about… so I’ve been living off pickles and potatoes but at least there are a bunch of other people to eat with. Peter J and joaki are also here which is awesome and they’re already fired up about the wax tech relay going on tonight and with Justin as their third man I think they’ve got a pretty good team. It’s going to be a good one. I’ve never seen hammering like what goes down in the tech relay here every year. It’s under the lights and there are a lot of fans and athletes cheering everyone on, and people get after it. I’ll try to get some pictures and post them next time I get a chance.
I really wanted to do a video update while I was here but we don’t have a video camera with us so I couldn’t really show you guys around the stadium. but I did grab some pics this morning. Racing starts tomorrow with a 10 and 15k classic and then the classic sprints the next day.
