| Campra, Switzerland! |
The most random thing that happened to me on my way to
Europe was seeing my dad on his way back from Munich in the DC airport! I knew
he was coming back the same day but I had no idea where or through which
airport. What are the odds?! Lucky for me because he was able to pass off a few
Euros that weren’t of any more use to him… ;) I met the rest of the Canadian
contingent at the Munich airport and we drove to Campra, Switzerland that
afternoon.

| Classic sprint qualifier in Campra |

| Me and my teammate Alana |
Campra is a small place, but the mountains are huge
and the skiing is sweet. We’ve been good at making our own fun. Hallway bocce,
exploratory runs, cards, visiting the local dairy that specializes in squash
and fig yogurt…so yummy! Its been fun to see old friends who used to ski on the
college circuit, friends from my days living in Ramsau, Austria and a teammate
from last year’s World Uni Games who is spending the year in Italy and came to visit.

| Hallway bocce. It gets intense. |
The first day of racing was a classic sprint. I qualified 12th
and made my up to an 8th place finish, 2nd in the B
final. The second day was a 10km classic in frigid temperatures and I’m pretty
sure hurricane force wind! The third day was a 10km skate mass start. I wouldn’t say the second two races were my most stellar performances,
but hopefully I worked out the travel bugs.

| So awesome to find my old Utah teammate Kjersti Bø in the chocolate aisle of the grocery store in Madona!! |
We're in Latvia now and getting psyched up for a 15km skate tomorrow and then its off to Estonia.
We didn't get a Latvian stamp in our passports, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an Estonian one!
