Thyon!

So Thyon has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life...ever.  Our hotel has a clear view of the Matterhorn, one of the highest peaks in Europe, there are mountains EVERRYYWHHEERREE, and we are staying in the heart of the Alps, which is downright amazing.  Today Shane and I did a little bit of training with Bastien, who lives here, and Thomas Bergfors of Denmark.  The race hill is pretty sweet.  Its not too too too steep, but it has a lot of rolls.  The jump is going to be pretty much huge, but it will definitely be the best jump we have done this year.  The sprint is going to be super long, and the classic is going to be brutal.  There is a huge cat-track that we are going to take, that if we have good speed coming into, we should be able to just tuck across it.  If not its going to be a brutally long skate.  Tomorrow we will train a little bit more with Bastien and Thomas, see if we can get really comfortable on the hill!  Most of the US Team pulls in tomorrow so pretty stoked to see some new faces!
