Spring & Rest

I drove 16hrs home the last week in April to spend some time with family, who I don’t get to see that often anymore, especially during race season. In addition to relaxing and eating home cooked meals, I was able to get in some great skiing on Great Slave Lake as well as some nice running and even a roller ski. I returned home two weeks later to resume training here in Canmore. I normally stay a bit longer in Hay River but my coach wanted to start May off with fairly big hours of training. So, I decided it would be better to return to Canmore and begin to focus on next season.

Anyways, here are some pictures from my time off in April.

I spent Easter visiting my sister and her family in Saskatoon. One of my nephews Dominic showed great patience while painting eggs all morning!

One of my favorite things to do while up North during the spring. This year had some of the best conditions for skiing on Great Slave Lake during May.


It was my niece Anna's 5th birthday while I was home. She wasted no time in getting a taste of the icing on her birthday cake!
