Cross training camp overview

The 2 week long cross training camp in Lake Placid was amazing. Wake up, eat breakfast, Ski 60-120min, eat lunch, nap for an hour (if lucky), ski again or do weight training possibly do both, session 3 game (inside) or go skating, oooops can't forget dinner, now fall into bed, I believe that covers the basics of training camp life at the OTC.
The conditions were perfect, it snowed everyday and each morning there were fresh tracks and corduroy for 50km. The temperatures remained sane and in the teen for most of the time which kept the folks from the south from completely freezing.
All and all I cant wait to go back to camp next year!

Lake Placid Cross Training Camp

Lake Placid, NY is an awesome place to train in all year round but I have a soft spot for the area in the winter. Over the next two weeks the USA sprint and Slalom Canoe/Kayak teams are coming together at the Lake Placid OTC for an intensive cross training camp involving skiing, speed skating, weight training, gym games and anything else are coaches can think of.
We started of the camp with an easy 2hrs ski this morning/orientation session for those folks who had never been on snow. This afternoon will be an hour of 4 v 4 soccer in the gym. So we're off to a great start.
