The CXC team is currently in Hayward, WI for our last Midwest camp of the summer.  We got here yesterday and did some VO2max testing.  Today we did some technique on the roller skis and took it easy in the afternoon.  I’m really taking advantage of some easy days before next week when I have one of my hardest weeks of the summer.  Here are some pics from the VO2max testing courtesy of Carl Nygren.

The CXC Elite Team has a new Title Sponsor for the 2009/2010 ski season and hopefully many more.  The name of the company is Vertical Limit and our new team name is CXC TEAM VERTICAL LIMIT.  You can view the official press release HERE.

We are very excited about this partnership and look forward to an excellent year.

Congratulations to Matt and Marybeth Liebsch for having a beautiful, healthy daughter on Tuesday night!  It was very exciting to have this going on during our camp.
