Wow. I’m finally back in Toronto! I just realized that I’ve been here for only one week since last November! Sliding is really done for the season and it feels great! But let me give you a quick update on the past couple of weeks.
We were in Whistler for the past two weeks training on the Olympic track and ‘preparing’ for Canadian Championships. Now, this was a very anti-climactic event for most of us, as we haven’t done any physical training since World Championships four weeks ago! Some of you may be wondering why that is, but it’s basically because we need to take time off at the end of a long season for our bodies to fully recover before building it back up again to peak at the right time(s). At this level of competition, the goal is not to peak for Canadian Championships at the end of March, but to peak at the World Championships or the Olympics in February! That is the plan!
