Training Camp Underway

Monday, December 29th, 2008

After a cold drive from Fairbanks we’re on the ground in Anchorage.  You’d never think -5F would feel so good until you’ve tried to fix a car-top box in 40 below!

We started the trip with some double-pole speed work this morning on the sprint course at Kincaid and an hour skate at Hillside this afternoon.  We’re now settling into camp mode: eat, train, eat, sleep, train, eat, relax, sleep.  repeat.

No great pictures from today - just a team load of drink belts.
