Last week Jessie Diggins and the T2 team put out a post saying they were holding some open workouts that anyone could come to. Naturally, even though we are 2 and a half hours away from Stratton we decided to make a journey!
We had a great day-trip, leaving in the late morning and getting in a sweaty, humid run at Pine Hill Park in Rutland. After the run, we enjoyed a picnic lunch and a little relaxation before hopping back in the van.

We had a somewhat-eventful trip to Stratton as I was adamant the van could successfully arrive before running out of gas. Funny how it always works out to be 20 miles left, yet the “40 miles of fuel remaining” seems to drop faster than that…anyway, we made it! There were actually very few other people who seemed to have taken up Jessie on her offer, so the crew got to have some real quality experiences rolling through an agility course with Jessie, Will Koch, and Katharine Ogden before some head-to-head sprints including traditional starts, push-up starts, and laying-on-the-ground starts.

After the ski the clouds and impending thunderstorm parted just long enough to get a photo and some autographs. Really cool to have such an impromptu experience from the top skier in the world. Thanks Jessie!
Of course we weren’t quite done, as a mandatory pizza stop was needed in Rutland to break up the drive…and to refuel! If you can’t tell from the content of these blogs recently, we are big fans of pizza.
