4 weeks out

Its amazing how fast the season comes along, we are two weeks away from sliding and 4 weeks from our first team selection races. The leaves have begun to change in lake placid. For me there is no better time of year. It is not only beautiful but represents a very exciting time for me as it is time to put all of the hours of hard summer training into effect on the ice. A week ago we had our second push camp in calgary and it went great. I pushed another personal best and solidified my start technique. My biggest gains this summer have come from flexibility, biomechanical work and a lot of work in sports medicine to really understand my body and what I need to get myself to be my best. A big thanks to peter toohey and jason hartman for all the help they gave me with my physical preparation. I'm currently waiting in jfk airport for my flight to albany.I went out west to visit a friend and clear my mind. I'm ready for this fall. The combie test is tomorrow (physical testing) ill report back w results!
