Day 1 included a
trip to BMO Stadium to work out our vocal chords, cheering for the Scotland Celtic--even as they lost tragically to Portuguese SL Benefica. Despite being surrounded by crazy Portuguese fans (we accidentally got tickets for the wrong section), we still managed to be inspired by professional (and...hot?) Euro soccer players, pumping us up for our intense expedition the next morning...
Day 2 started bright and early, with Sarah launching Katie straight out of bed with a strong cup of coffee and onto the latest ski training equipment: rollerblades! No high mountain passes or rugged vistas were needed to motivate us as we spent the entire day over-over-over-distance-exploring the wild frontiers of the big city of Toronto! Along bike paths, across intersections (which Katie may or may not have fallen in the middle of), dipping into crystal-clear Lake Ontario, being obstructed by a barge crossing beneath the bridge in front of us, sampling handmade chocolates, and meeting many friendly Canadians along the way, this training session truly expanded our engines.
Day 3 began with an easy distance hike along the railroad track, after which, we transitioned to the subway, which brought us into downtown Toronto for some Level 4 shopping. Sarah also went a little crazy on the vespa...
We recovered on Day 4 with some important refueling, rehydrating (at the farmer's market), and poolside resting.
All in all, this camp was a fantastic finale to the summer! We hope to introduce some of these ski-specific training techniques to the Williams nordies upon our return to campus tomorrow. See you soon! Love, Sarah and Katie :)
