We've actually been doing quite a bit for skiing this year so far compared to previous years. We've had organized rollersking/ pole running sessions for the past month. We even had a small contingent of our team go down to Lake Placid (the town) these past two weekends to attend US Ski Team member Garrot Kuzzy's technique and strength clinics. We learned a few things we do now is good, and we also learned a few new tricks to implement into our 'strength' program. It was crazy motivational to spend time with a potential Olympian for a few hours. We also attended these same clinics last year... Garrott has gotten much more comfortable talking to groups about technique and such. Thanks dude!
I've really got to get a camera some time...
XC running has three meets left, spread out over the next month. The ski-only athletes are starting to move into their interval phase, and the runners are starting to phase out.
One last thing. Have you seen those ads for the Ski-erg around? We got to use one at the strength clinic, it's bad-ass! It is definitely a luxury item, but I can see how this can help people with their technique and power. The word 'supplement' comes to mind. If you have money and want to buy Clarkson Skiing one of them, feel free!
I feel bad leaving you without any pics, so I drew this for you in paint. See you later!
