This is sort of what the group looked like silhouetted standing alongside the fence, third from the right looks like Dan. There are not many times in mid November where you can be out at night in a tee and shorts and be comfortable. For 32 folks that night was last night. The mid 40’s and still air was perfect for bounding and just cool enough that Mike and Matt kept their shirts on, whew!
The new V1 slide move we did went pretty well. It was harder than some thought and TIME WISE it took a little longer and used some mussscccles we are not used to. That makes it a keeper. I was smilin’ when I saw the efforts to pass each during the rope pull to the fence. I never saw Andy cross the knoll so fast.
Poling looked better, perhaps my little strap diatribe did some good but it was a noticeable improvement. As we enter the final TWO weeks (I know I said one but math was not my forte) we need to have that final build up to snow. Once snow comes you will need to slow your intensity and get those ski legs back but hillbounding will help make that adjustment dramatically easier.
With snow around the corner (there is snow on the ground in northern WI and in MN) you should be checking http://www.skinnyski.com/ for trail updates. Put it in your favorites. There are several from the group and GB heading to West Yellowstone Camp this next week. Drink like a fish, it is 6600’ and goes up from there. These weeks before snow should be peak hour weeks, get out there and remember we will be on snow soon.
The 17th Birkie Class registration is up and running. If you are by the store check out the Team Craft Jacket. It certainly is the best we have ever had http://www.craft-usa.com/cra_shop_zoom.php?back=185&category=4&headline=men&area=shop&type=bski&id=1079&bcsex=m We are limited on class size so it is important to let me know. I am building an email class roster which will be our method of communication. Go to http://www.incompetition.com/html/runEventRegister.psp to register.
Steve was so gassed last night he sent me his HRM strip but forgot to attach it. He looked like a dead man at the end but that puts him in good company. NOTE: The GB Parks SOMETIMES locks the lower gate to Bairds Creek. Park where you can and walk to the top, it is a nice warmup. Next week at 5:28pm.
