Loveland Bound!

So it is almost on top of us. The season is finger’s length away and with it comes excitement and nerves. The World Cup season opened in Sölden (congrats to Lindsey Vonn and Ted Ligety) and soon after that follows everybody else’s season. So Rowmark heads out to Colorado for a jump-start to the season we leave tomorrow and I could not be more excited. I just finished my two tests today and so I am finally ready to get out of this town!

This is the time where people realize how much work they have put into the coming season. It has been 30 weeks of training since Rowmark started preparing for the season and this camp is the culmination of that. Our second Loveland camp is my favorite of the entire year. First of all it is the most “winteresque” of any of our camps and takes place on a resort with real runs on it (sorry Hood). We also start to do a ramp up for our first races (mine will be Panorama) in December or November. This ramping occurs on the Loveland training hill, which is quite nice, and I enjoy a lot. The third and last thing is that it is Colorado, which is one of my favorite places on earth.

But with every great thing comes a but, and that but comes in the form of finals. Finals follow our camp less than a week from when we get back. The only drawback to camp is that—we have to go into finals trying just to catch up from when we were gone.

So in conclusion,s off to Loveland for my favorite camp and I am sooo excited. What is hard to believe is that after that comes the season, YIKES! But it is going to be a blast. And I cannot wait for camp and then Thanksgiving (not finals) and then my Beaver Creek speed Camp and then my first FIS race. Did I mention I was excited?
