New Year's Day 2011

Back in Pittsbuuuuurgh! I took a very last minute bus here from New York. I was supposed to get here last Sunday but because of that crazy snow storm, my flight was canceled. I was ticked enough but then my rescheduled flight Tuedsay was also canceled. I was ready to get to Pittsburgh if I had to crawl at that point so I ended up taking this very cramped Chinese bus. With the city in complete disarray and the bus leaving at rush hour anyway, it took forever to get out of the city and I did not get to Pittsburgh until 1:30am, having endured an eight hour ride. Mr. Burkholder was pinned with the chore of picking me up. Thanks soooooooo much to him.
  So that's how I got here. The next day I skated in the camp and the camp ended yesterday morning. It was mostly a technique camp but we threw in some pretty quick laps too the last days. I missed the first couple days of the camp but i am still sore. We skated and did dryland twice a day for a total of about 7 hours of training a day. Can't wait to start next weeks training. I'm guessing it will be very very hard.
  Happy new Year!
