Today was the not mooooost productive day. Whistler was, well… Typical Whistler. With fog rolling in and out, mostly in, the morning consisted of waiting in our “Canadian Athlete’s only” lodge playing cards, while the race was on hold. We trained a few runs of Slalom after the Women’s training run was cancelled which at least ended the morning on a productive note!
Chilled in the afternoon, got some physio on my knee, and worked out before meeting then dinner. But the best part of the evening was playing Cranium with Shona, Britt and Em and trying to move Em’s body without her knowing I was trying to portray “surfing a wave” to Britt. With everyone in hysterics Britt somehow figured it out with how I was moving Emily’s body around!
Tomorrow we have a late start so no 5 am wake up, yay! Hopefully we get a run off!!
Update
Well the website is up! And what amazing timing! Ok… I just have to say…. WHO’S EXCITEDDDDDD???????? (about the Olympics I’m talking about)
Aaaannnd, I’m done. On to the actual update…
So we (the Olympic team) we were just at Nakiska training for the past three days before heading to the craziness at Vancouver and onward to Whistler. Nakiska is a mountain I would NOT suggest go and ski on your vacation out West, but it is an awesome mountain for us racers who love ice and steep runs. It is our western training facility so they accommodate us really well. We trained 3 days of tough gs and super g training. It felt good being back on my skis, skiing with confidence after a not so friendly crash a week previous at St. Moritz. We will be living in our own condos (not the Athlete’s Village) up in Whistler to be on our own, and focus on our game. And besides, who can complain about having a private chef cook for you? Don’t think so…
So that’s the latest, keep checking in because a LOT of craziness is going to happening in the next few days I’m sure!
