Twenty six hill stormin' skiers took on the hill last night............and fought to a tie. It was a hard effort with 30 reps and some good speed and lots of accelerations. As many are finding out, speeding UP is harder than just going, that is why we "Train Up" for skiing.
Technically most are starting to get it although when pushed there is some regressing to running. Note the photo's http://www.flickr.com/photos/incomp/?saved=1 and in particular #17 where we see Nick R. in fine form. Be sure to expand it to get a good look at the foot, pole and shin angle. Nice. On top of that Nick Rollerskied at noon, a classic case of over-achiever gone crazy! Steve's HRM strip shows a lactate interval of almost 5 minutes which is a long time to deprive your brain of oxygen. He was motivated by Roy and Company going around at the end and forcing an extra rep. Click on the strip to see a expanded image.
Next week we will solve all the technicals miscues with a special event that I really like, you may not like it as much but it does work. Expect more accelerations and a special ride and tie rep you won't want to miss. I found an early photo of Andy demonstrating his "Randy" technique....it explains a lot. In the meantime, if you feel a little wasted this will pick you up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWtvyd1F5Mo until we meet next week at 5:25pm.
POOF = PUSH OFF ON FOOT
