A day off, not an off day

We don't race again until Wednesday.  Tomorrow's schedule will entail a lot of ski testing for the coaches and race preparation for the athletes, but for today we were able to relax a bit with some easy training at Soldier Hollow in the morning and an easy team jogging/strength workout in the afternoon.

While UAA's coaches, Nicole and Andrew, have an enormous waxing ballroom at their disposal...

...volunteer coach Adam is left to prepare skis in his own style back at the hotel room.

A light afternoon team workout.

We found this volcanic caldera along the roadside (with nearby deer, being stalked by a housecat)

In the evening, a few of us dropped by the Homestead Caldera for a little swim in the warm mineral water.
