Hillbound October 26. Play Misty for Me




The night started cool and dry but heated up fast for the couple dozen skiers on the hill last night. It got misty for the last few reps but nobody was going to be denied the best lactate interval of the year.
More emphasis was placed on skating and the one note I would make is to be more aware of the uphill pole. Too often we forget to place it up and out into the direction of travel. Wet conditions are perfect for sliding the feet, take advantage of it. Be sure and go back and review photo’s and try and visualize improvement in your technique http://www.flickr.com/photos/54192844@N02/
We are entering peak roller ski season and I would encourage you to do it…a lot. Note the Ashwaubenon Duathlon is this Sunday http://skiwithanst.org/2011/stump-farm-trail-race-and-duathlon-2011 and finally there was 2cm of snow on the ground at Sayner this morning…it won’t be long. Birkie Class signup is coming next week. We are going to have a solid limit of 40 individuals (this time for sure) so don’t delay.
Great effort last night, a few more and we will be ready for snow but for now go grow your sideburns and play in the mist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFLwJpW6cDw
