I am not referring to a pair of key fundamentals for good ski technique but rather necessary adjustments to my walking technique in order to reach the store yesterday. In my absence Voss received some snow and I have learned that the person in charge of plowing my street does not believe in sand. Any attempt to leave my hybel involved gaining speed in the driveway and then attempting not to fall when on the actual road (maintaining speed on what essentially amounted to ice was not a problem). The good news though is that it is finally warm again. After over 3 weeks of -10 Celsius and colder (a lot of the time colder than -15) it was actually over 0 celsius yesterday and I was even able to give my buffs a rest day.
Las week was my second training camp in Geilo and I don't really have anything groundbreaking to say about it. Also, I don't have any good pics from the week. However, we had a skit night and someone taped my groups performance. So, when I can get a hold of the footage I will post it. Needless to say we were stellar. It is mostly in Norwegian and basically one large inside joke so if you have trouble understanding the video and or humor just laugh regularly at 8.3 second intervals.
Final news for the day is my impending return to the US. I am heading home right before Christmas and leaving after a week of racing in Rumford, ME in early January. I have already started my reaclimitization (there has to be a good word for: made up words that sound real) by watching Boon Dock Saints and Inception in Geilo with the true pillar of American culture, (No not the Glenn Beck Program) Anchorman, still to come.
