 The wildflowers are still amazing in the mountains! Here we are, at the end of the summer training! Due to some strangeness with coaches and everyone enjoying the end of summer we did not have official practice last week. Thus, some of you had fun and did LOTS of training and some of you had fun and did little training. This will mean that you'll all need to decide where you are on the training week. Officially this is a recovery week but the team will be doing some fun, last week of summer, activities.
We have officially started our quadraped training so please bring your short, running poles to OD practices! We will be posting the training for Jalapeno Peppers, if you don't know which Pepper you are please contact us and we'll help you decide! Team Training will be in Green bold italics Monday:

 We got to ski!!!!!! It was a fantastic day on the trails! 10km loop with amazing early season skiing! Unfortunately there is still no snow at Happy Jack so we'll be back to dry land again this week AND we had the unfortunate time change happen as well. Makes for a rough time for training.
