I'm up in Aspen now for the last two races of a 6 week trip. Not a bad place to end it. We have a 10k classic tomorrow followed by the Owl Creek Chase on Saturday before I head back to Denver to fly out early Sunday. Given the totally outrageous housing cost here ($425 a night was the cheapest I could find) Noah Hoffman's family has been kind enough to open their house to me and a couple other skiers for the week.
After what has felt like a week spent in the city and traveling it was a real nice change to settle in here yesterday and just go ski... slowly. We are at about 8500 feet up here and if you go too hard your lungs let you know. Fortunately there is a fair amount of mellow skiing terrain off ther race course that I was able to cruise around on yesterday. Once in the sunshine which was a nice change and the other at night which is just fun.
Today is just an easy ski on the course and getting the skis ready for tomorrow.
Also here is a link to some photos of the Madison sprints
