Bend Camp Coming to an End

My month of training here in Bend is close to an end. I trained what will end up being around a tenth of my total hours of training this year during my three weeks here. 

I have had a great time here and my training has been very productive. It's weird for me to be away from home for so long though. I always feel a little anxious about being away for so long because of all my other obligations when in in Colorado.

On top of that, I haven't been able to see my wife Sarah for 6 weeks, which is a small amount of time in comparison to the winter, but regardless it is a long time. She did, however, make it to Bend for her birthday weekend this weekend so we had a great time.

The snow has been great, the training has been great and the company has been greater. 

I also had an article written by Fasterskier about the upcoming season:

Great start to the season!
