6:45am: Wake-up Breakfast
7:20am: walk to 1st T-Bar
7:55am: Arrive at the top of our lane - dynamic warmup
* I had an interesting experience carrying gates up the T-bar this morning while carrying a at minimum 60lb bag. Successful, yet very sweaty.
8:10 - 11am: Morning session in GS gates on Lane 14
11am-12pm: Lunch
12 - 2:30: Afternoon session in GS gates on Lane 14
2:30: shuttle home
*It is now too sparse to ski into Farallones, The T-bar track is fine however snow is deteriorating on the lower section of the mountain rapidly. Athletes will shuttle down daily after skiing.
3pm: Coaches meeting for lane allocation for the next day.
This morning the U16 ladies cycled around with JP and the boys with me. In the afternoon the guys went off with JP and did some free skiing in an attempt to control their upper body movements while skiing. And the girls stayed with me and skied some more gates to build on the successes they were having from the morning. We just completed a video session with the athletes and they each have a focus moving into tomorrow as we are on the exact same plan as today.
Today was Joey's Birthday. After skiing Gab and I went on a hunt to find him a Birthday cake. Not only were we successful but we found a 'dulce de leche' cake. Joey's favourite topping for his toast in the morning. Joey also got 'jello-d' by the FIS gang which in my opinion was less successful then the cake Gab and I found.
Early to bed tonight, the athletes are getting tired and starting to go to sleep on their own. We have 2 more days of GS planned and we will ski 2 days of SL before our return home.
