From Torsby to Lake Placid
Sunday, September 14th, 2008I got home from the second week of training camp in Torsby feeling quite tired. It wasn’t easy training in the tunnel twice a day but we were only there for a week so we tried to take advantage of it.

We had 4-5 hours of training each day which we did as some combination of skating, classic, rollerskiing, running, and biking. We were able to train with Kati Wilhelm and Andrea Henkel, who were staying with us, and did a time trial with them on Friday.
