Eva is a CrossFit trainer at CrossFit Santa Cruz, and a former member of the US Olympic Ski Team:
“In the last few years I have skied less than 20 days a year. I end up racing in a couple races a year against my peers and some people pretty fresh of the FIS circuit. People are pretty amazed when they find out how many days I have skied…usually at that point less than 10, and how well I compete against these gals who are off the circuit and living at a ski area. I give them a run for their money and sometimes even beat them. I prepare by doing CrossFit. Skiing is my Specific Skills Preparation. Sure I have the skills of skiing burned into my mind from childhood… . It is funny, when I was on the US team they paid for my private gymnastic sessions …had us O-lift …and do interval training on the track or on a bike….sounds a lot like aaaaaahhhh….CrossFit? Don’t waste too much time on the details…what you need in my opinion is right in front of your face! I wish I had this program when I was training for the Olympics.”
