Today was a good day, just a little slow and squeaky on the trails this morning. It was a beatiful sunny day, at least.
We took a tour past some interesting shops during our morning jog. The neon lights are all still glowing at 08.00h. Some of the highlights from today include watching one of the coaches try to eat half a can of cheap caviar from a toothpaste tube, watching Tim Burke race in World Cup, and a great dinner at a steakhouse called Manhattan. Being a New Yorker myself, I'm proud to announce that we have a lot of new fans of the New York Yankees.
The crew seems to be getting along with one another really well. They've been happy to relax after most of the meals, talking with each other and making new friends. For our time here in Lahti, everybody got to share a room with someone they didn't know before the trip.
Tomorrow most of the athletes will do some sort of race pace intervals. Then we'll load up our vans and drive North to Kuopio. They're in a pretty deep freeze up there right now (-27* C), but it looks like we may see temps as high as -10* C by Tuesday. At least the sun is shining, and the saunas are still hot!
Over and our from Lahti, //Tim
