Back to Slovenia!

The K95 and K125 jumps in Planica, SLO

I am now back at my second home here in Planica, SLO and I could not be more pumped! I am here with the rest of the National Team along with several other development team athletes (Ben Loomis, Grand Andrews, and Somer Schrock). We arrived this past Monday and will be here training for a total of two weeks. This is shaping up to be a great final prep camp before the winter arrives. We are alternating between the jumps here in Planica, the jump in Kranj, SLO (40min away), and the jump in Villach, AUT (30min away). As I have mentioned before we are taking advantage of the 100kms of bike path right outside of our front door for distance workouts and the roller skiing track in Villach for intervals! Today we also went on an awesome hike behind our place to the triple border of Italy, Slovenia and Austria! Check out some pictures of the hike and scenery below.

I'm sure I have talked about how much I love coming to Planica to train but I feel like I need to say it every time I come here as I enjoy it that much. I make some of my biggest improvements on the K125 here and on top of that it is a super fun hill to jump. We will be here for another week for more jumping, intervals, and a small team comp at the end of the trip. This past week we also went into a ski jump suit factory (more of an attic with lots of sewing machines) and got measured for new suits which we will be picking up later this week. Needless to say we are getting closer and closer to winter arriving and every bit of preparation is getting me pumped to get things going! As always thanks for checking in and keep checking my home page for new photos and tweets regularly!
