Training

Marianne Leeson - Wednesday, March 16, 2011
I came back to Calgary after 3 weeks on the road, and it was nice to see Tyler and my friends again. I was looking forward to getting back into training before heading to Europe. We did a few days up at our home hill Norquay, right near Banff. Then my team went to Panorama BC for the weekend to change it up. They left Friday night but I already has plans for Tylers birthday Friday so I drove up the next morning at 6 by myself. I thought it was going to be a difficult drive not getting a good 8 hrs of sleep but I suprinsingly didnt start crashing until lunch time. Luckily we did some free riding on our soft boots in the afternoon and just played around in the park and the trees.
I got back to the cabin we were staying at and didn't leave the couch. The boys were shocked I slept through the entire night, but that's what happens when you get 5 hours of sleep before a 3 hour drive and a full day of training.

The next day we trained duel. Which I love. It's great training since we're always racing duel.  It's good to learn how to race and only focus on yourself. However on a couple runs I did get caught not just thinking about myself. My teammate Steve said he'd race against me. I knew I couldn't beat Steve but it's nice to see how far you are from the boys. Unfortunately I cut off my line and went into Steve course and we hit. I took a chunk out of my edge and a chunk out of his plate on the board. I had to work on that the next day but luckily I didn't hurt Steve or myself. He actually rode out of it very gracefully. Thanks Steve :)

I'm just getting to Europe today for the last 2 world cups of the season and a couple European Cups. I'm really hoping for some good results and going into this summer feeling positive about the season I just had.
