Free Agent Season

Since my last post I have been working hard on resting hard. With a nice trip down to Disney World and the warm weather here in New York, the past two months have been very relaxing. Most of my time is spent working at the Glens Falls Country Club with the maintenance department but my mind is always thinking about biathlon.

I call this free agent season because this is the time of year every biathlete has to decide where and with whom they will be training and racing with next season. After taking a step back and really weighing all my options, I have come to the decision that the Maine Winter Sports Center is still the best option for me. In the past two seasons with Maine Winter I have seen great improvement in myself and look forward to another season with the team.

In the past few months I have been working to replace broken equipment, get new equipment etc. so here are a few quick shout outs to some awesome companies that have made this process a little easier:

Rossignol: I have been racing on rossi for many years now and love their skis. I have seen their skis adapt with new ski technology over the years to stay at the front of the pack. I am excited to be a Rossignol Athlete this season so if you have any questions about any of their products please don’t hesitate to message me. #AnotherBestDay

Polar: Training data is one of my favorite things to dissect and analyze. My new Polar RC3 GPS heart rate monitor provides me with so much info about my training it is an essential piece of training equipment. #ListenToYourBody

FinnSisu: Finally, special thanks to FInnSisu for the new Marwe Rollerskis. Marwes are such a smooth rollerski and FinnSisu is the place to get them in North America.

I have been doing a little bit of training this past month and I am happy to report I am feeling healthy and energized. I am heading back up to Maine on June 2^nd and am excited to get the training season underway.
