Training...

So Jolene Moore, another US World Cup team member, came to Gothenburg and joined Philip and me. Jolene is also chasing the A or B time standard, the time we need to achieve in order to be eligible to make the Olympic team. The “A” Standard (1 hr, 33 minutes and 30 seconds for 20km) would pretty much automatically qualify us to make the Olympic Team, as long as we finish the race at Olympic Trials, of course, there are other specifics that I won’t bore you with. No American women have the A standard as of yet. Our best shot is at the World Cup race. The B standard is 1 hr. 36 mins. If no one gets the A standard, then the winner of the Olympic Trials will be the only one allowed to go to Beijing, as long as she has the B standard. Complicated, I know. We should at least reach this time in Cheboksary. Jolene will be my roomie in Russia as well…
