So second training camp has come and gone (by a long shot - I've been a bit busy) but I did well at that placing 2nd overall in the sprints and doing well enough on my pushing. Had some minor glitches but life isn't perfect. Overall Calgary was very productive for me, and so has my training been since I got home. I have been training a lot with the Vancouver Canucks - which is obviously a huge deal for me, and definitely pushes me harder than I would've thought - can't let them lift more than me! My bench press, cleans and squats have come along nicely! I can nearly bench my weight (140lbs) I can clean 70kgs, and squat a nice 250lbs for reps - making my 1 rep max nearly 300lbs. Go me Go!
With work and school out of the way I used September as purely a training month, seeing my docs multiple times a week for check ups and acupuncture, massage and phsyio. Its been wonderful and I can see the improvements in my own body - definitely much more muscle mass. I am very excited for this up coming season - although nervous at the same time. We have selection races coming up in Whistler and I really want to make the World Cup Team this year, yes it means a whole lot more travel and competition but I know I'm ready for the challenge.
