Action Menu Hi, All is well here in Lake Placid, as I am enjoying my last few weeks at home for the summer. I will be here for another two weeks of training on my own before heading over to Sweden for a three-week training camp with my coaches. Our team camp ended just over a week ago here in Lake Placid and all of my testing went very well. I made significant improvements from our May camp in Colorado and most importantly I won our team time trial at the end of the camp. I knew going into the camp that I had made improvements since our May camp, but it was nice to back that feeling up with actual data. These improvements also give me a lot of confidence in the training plan that I am following, which is very important. After the camp was over I enjoyed a week of easy training and rest at home. It was a great opportunity to catch up with family friends and “recharge the battery” for the hard weeks of training ahead. I really do enjoy my down time in between training cycles but I always seem to get a little anxious to train after a week of rest, so it feels nice to be back in the swing of things now. After two more weeks of training here on my own, I will head to Sweden for one of my favorite camps of the year. During our camp in Sweden I will partake in a series of summer races that are completed on roller-skis instead of actual skis. Some of the top biathletes in the world will be competing in these races so it will be a great opportunity for me to see where I stack up. After the summer races, I will head to Torsby, Sweden for a week of training in a ski tunnel. This is an underground tunnel of 1.5 kilometers in length that has snow year-round. It will be a great opportunity for me to get back on skis and also start testing new equipment for next season. My summer training this year has been more intense than ever before and I am happy to report that my body and joints are holding up great. I know Syn-flex has played a huge role in my ability to train so much. Thank you for such a great product and all of your support! My Best, Tim
