It’s definitely more like fall in Squamish but the sun keeps coming, or maybe not?

A 5-hour OD takes you pretty far and it’s a great workout. If it takes you up Black Tusk it’s even better!

It feels like you’re running into the sky but it’s just the Grouse Grind Mountain Run… With a length of 2.9 kilometers (1.8 miles) and an elevation gain of 853 meters (2.800 feet) it makes you feel another level of pain.

The Whistler Olympic Park has been busy lately. US Ski Team has been here with both the WC team and the development team.

Yesterday the CVTC team came back from a great camp with Team 2010. They showed the level, the attitude and the speed.

Testing week continues and in between we had some Olympic inspiration.

After a recovery week the CVTC team is fired up for a testing week. First out: Uphill running time trial.

A recovery week is about rest and getting ready for more training. But also doing things you don’t always have time for. Like climbing and cliff jumping, usual stuff…

One and a half years to the winter Olympics but the CVTC team already is spending a lot of time at the venue. Today, bounding the A-climb on the classic course.
