Start of a New Season

Team mate Grant Andrews leading me up Rabbit Ears Pass

The new season of Nordic Combined has started and i would like to apologize for not updating my website in a while I have been dealing with the end of school. Thankfully we are on summer break now! This new season started off with a trip to Park City to for physical testing, this was one of my first opportunities to train at a nicer facility because of my naming to the National Training Group (NTG). I was named to this team at the end of this year because I made the world junior championship team this winter. On this team I receive more funding for my travel as well as more opportunities in relation to training. Anyway at the physical testing camp in Park City I was tested on the roller ski treadmills at the Olympic Training Center (OTC). On the treadmills we did two different tests, the first was a test to figure out what my different heart rate levels are. The second was a max test to find my VO2 max as well as get some numbers into the computers for future reference. While we were there we also did a body index, hemoglobin and strength tests again in order to get more numbers into the computers for future reference.

Testing at the Center of Excellence

After our trip to Park City we did a lot of training around town that was both fun and hot. Although I was still finishing school I was able to participate in some very fun training sessions. Because of our trip to Park CIty to test I now know exactly how hard I should be going in each workout.
