6.12.13 Summer Training
Hi MYSL kids! I’m writing to you from Park City, Utah. It’s another beautiful hot sunny day – and it hasn’t rained once since I got here, almost 2 weeks ago! I feel like I am living in Paradise. I am sharing a condo up in Empire Village with my teammates, which is at 8,100 feet of elevation. Compare that to the average elevation of Minnesota – 1,200ft, and I’m basically living 6,900 feet in the air above Minnesota! When you’re higher up, it’s much harder to breathe, and until my body adjusted it felt like I was trying to breathe through a straw. Try it sometime – it’s pretty tough, especially once you try climbing up the stairs!
