Back in Rjukan!

I am back in Rjukan for the third year in a row, and it is beautiful as ever!  The Gaustatoppen mountain in the background, on one of the biggest mountaintop plateaus in the world.  Its so big you don't really feel like its a mountaintop, but sure enough, it drops down into valleys all around.  This truly is a very special place.  The last two days we have been training here and getting a feel for the very soft snow.  Today the organizers started bringing in all of the big TV equipment and all the big trucks just started showing up!  Hopefully I can have a few good results here, it would be good to leave my first go round of europe with some more good finishes to make up for my crappy skiing in Slovenia.  We have a sprint tomorrow, followed by the first two parallel sprints of the year!  It can be seen on Eurosport 2 sunday morning, and NRK 1 saturday night!  Wish us luck!
