Three excellent time trials

Last week was a big volume week, with the elite teams from Sun Valley Ski Foundation, Bridger Ski Foundation, and Crosscut Mountain all doing training camps at Soldier Hollow, the site of the 2002 Olympics. They were often joined in their workouts by skiers from the D-1 University of Utah program. 

Lucy was the only athlete to ski in three of four time trials, as she did a straight cross country race, as well as two biathlon time trials. All three races were excellent, with her finishing second in both biathlon races, behind 2018 Olympian Joanna Reid. She was also the only biathlete - male or female - to clean all of her targets in one of the races. 

Her training seems on track, even though she is juggling a demanding job with the Montana Democratic Party, during this critically important election cycle.
