Kris Freeman

Kris called on his cell phone yesterday morning. They don’t have internet in Liberec and we usually stay in touch using Skype. He had a couple of good training days after the Otepaa races, including a 3 hour ski. Then the team travelled to Liberec where they have apparently trucked snow down from the mountains to make a 2.5K loop of mud, rocks, and slush. For the first day or so once they got there the only skiing option was to head up into the mountains. Kris spent an hour on a full-sized charter bus with 12 other guys getting to skiing that was only 15 minutes away. I guess the driver didn’t exactly know where the skiing was. But all things told Kris is feeling well. His HRs have been running low and he’s looking forward to the weekend. He starts bib number 2 tomorrow - just like last week. It’s hard to know whether his starting position and the 2.5K loop will make for good rides, or just crazy traffic. It could be a real circus. We’ll all find out tomorrow…
