I Need An Altitude Adjustment!

I went to SLC last week for 4 days to check out the U of Utah and meet my new skating team! Little did I know the altitude would impact my skating. There were people from all over skating with me and they had no trouble at all and there I was, gasping for air the 3rd lap, and this was SHORT TRACK!! Good thing im moving there, ill get in some good high altitude training so when I have to skate anywhere else itll be easy!! They are so lucky, they have 2 hours of ice every day and for long track im not sure but the schedule seemed pretty open. One day I skated 2 hours of short track, changed my skates, then skated 2 hours of long track! Every skaters dream, right?!

Theyve got some sick crosstraining options too! World-class skiing, mountain climbing, road/mt biking, rock climbing, pancakes, all sorts of fun stuff! Everyone there is really nice, the coaches are cool, its a cool city with a kindof train thing called the UTA TRAX running through it. The school didnt have the major I wanted but im willing to compromise. :)
