"We Are Always Running for the Thrill of It"

To cap off the Europe glacier camp I've made a video of the three weeks all squashed into 5 minutes. I composed most of it on the flight back but ended up being a little slow on the finishing touches. If you didn't see the video from the Haig Glacier camp you can find that too on my YouTube page (eetribe). Check it out:




Today, I'm taking a break after returning from a 5 day camp just over the boarder in Lutsen, MN. A lot of intensity, rollerskiing, trail running and delicious dinner creations made for a successful camp.

We have an important event coming up this Friday called Nordic Fest. It's our biggest fund-raiser of the year and we have some great auction items lined up! I wanted to take this opportunity to say a great big thank-you(!!!) to Judi Fenton for donating a one-of-a-kind, hand-made quilt. It's a beautiful creation and sure to be a success.

I'm training in Thunder Bay until the end of November and then we head out west to Silver Star, BC to begin racing. I'll try to take some pictures over the next little while and hopefully they will include early skiing in Thunder Bay. We were skiing as of November 13th last year, so I'm holding my breath slightly, in hopes of an early snowfall.

Off to conquer "the list" ... of things to do today. Gotta love rest days for that!

Later!
