Discussion: JWOC Training Camp

The pre JWOC training camp is going quite well. All of us, Viktoria B., Siobhan F., Sarah, John F., Robbie P., Marty H., Will E., and me, Leif, are in great sprits and excited to race next week. We have been out to the training maps almost everyday. The terrain is quite steep, and can really tax the body, if too much training is done. Alexei has managed our week very well, allowing for rest days as well as mental training sessions to insure preparedness before JWOC next week. Tomorrow, we plan on running a faster middle type course, so we will have a good feel for the middle distance qualifier on Tuesday.

Also look for John and Viktoria, who are running the Post Finance Sprint on Sunday.

Everyone is in good spirits, resting lots, and enjoying the beautiful mountains and lakes of Switzerland. We all should do well during the competition week.

Thanks for the update! We're all cheering for you and will be looking forward to all of your reports.

Nice crowd this year. You guys will do well.

Thanks for the post, Leif! I am excited to follow team USA's results next week.
Good luck guys!!!

P.S. Beat Canada :)

Good luck and give it all! We are cheering here for you!

Do great, guys! And thanks to Alexei and Ross for helping out the team on this trip.
