US champs preparation in Park City




it's very good to be back here in Park City, staying and training with Emma G., Andrew P. and their dog Kip.
I love the area.
it's automn time here, fresh temperature in the morning, the colors of the trees very intensive, every day the nature is looking different,
wonderful to ride and run on the trails.
training with Emma is going very well. unfortunately she is not able to run at the moment, but swimming and riding together is great and so much easier to get through the hard sessions.
last Thursday we rode all the way down from Park City to Salt Lake City, yeah.
after that ride we did a hike with the Tuna kids (cross country skiers, coached by Emma).
I was impressed how fit these little kids are. Ben, a seven years old boy, was walking up the big hill super strong and specially downhill. I tried to keep up with him, and the result I have got the next day, muscle ache !
next Saturday the US Xterra champs are going on, in Odgen.
I'm looking forward to give my best, and to have a better race there than last year. my memories of it are painful. I had no time to acclimate. was suffering from the swim till the last meter of the run.
the course is super nice, also super hard, just going up, up, up!
Emma and I trained last Saturday on the course. it was perfect to have a seat on the nice lake after that, having picnic, watching the boats, dreaming of having great races.
