The last few days I had in Alaska were pretty awesome, and getting to go to Halibut Cove was such a cool experience! It felt surreal because it was a 24 hour adventure, and “normal” people don’t just fly in to the cabin for a night and zip off the…

After we got down from the glacier, we had a week of easy recovery training. No better time to do some adventuring and have a girls camping trip! The USST girls plus Astrid went to Holly Brook’s cabin down in Hope, and it was an awesome trip. Although you can…

The last three weeks have been so amazing, I’m almost speechless. However, since this is a blog, I had to find some words to describe what I’ve been up to in Alaska. And since so many adventures happened up here, I’ve split this post into three parts; the glacier, Hope,…

Part one of AK camp is finished, with an awesome adventure run, a visit to the REG camp juniors, and a time trial a couple days ago. On Friday we did the Potter’s Creek time trial, which we do every year; a 6.5 km classic that starts out with a…

Well, here we go again…the annual moose count is on (I’m at 6, but one might have actually been a bear). Oh, and I guess we’re training pretty hard too! I’m back up in Anchorage for our women’s NAWTA camp – North American Woman’s Training Alliance. We started the NAWTA…

Wow, it’s been a really fun week! It’s finally starting to get less hot and humid, which means I’m fairly confident that I will in fact survive the summer. The Fourth of July week was great – we did some tubing down the river that started as a relaxing ride and…

Alrighty! It’s officially been an internal temperature struggle-fest for me out here the past week, as it’s been really humid and pretty hot too. And we’ve had some massive downpours! But it’s been fun too, since I don’t mind getting wet, as long as I can start the workout with…

I got off the plane in Albany and almost choked on the amount of humidity in the air…I felt like I was swimming through the airport parking lot! But I’m starting to adjust now, and it’s so good to be back home with my club teammates in Stratton. Gus gave me…

This is as close to home as I’ll get in the next month; a 2.5 hour layover in the Minneapolis airport! But that’s ok because I’m going from one awesome place to another; I’ve just left Park City and am en route to Stratton, where I’ll rejoin my club teammates…
