Another good ski on Saturday, a few sets of thirty second skate pickups to finish off a solid weekend. Went for a quick snow run with Ziz before my Monday ritual of the sauna with old sweaty men. gross. Tuesday Ziz and I tried to sneak in a ski in the morning before class but my skis were in a van that was getting worked on and we couldn't find and by the time I found it, it was locked, and we were out of time. Went back and did strength and focused on my calves the whole time. haha. I got out of class after the team left so I tried to go on a trail run in knee deep snow... sorta worked. sorta sucked. Anyway my calves are killing form either the toe raises or the dumb run.
Today went well even after my sore calves. Slept in beyond late, was lazy till I got hungry, ate, went to practice, got in a REALLY good skate interval session with Knut. Finally feeling pretty good, lots of stuff to work on but it felt good. I need to work on the initial power phase of my V2 even if it mean slowing down the tempo. On the ride home I went over the video that Ethan took then waxed up the boards so they are fast for this weekend. I am doing the 10k in Placid. It will be my first on snow test of the year. Sorta nervous. I don't usually race well at the beginning of the season but I want to see what I can do.
On a sad note, again I had issues with the Vdub last night going to the store. After a half hour of ice scraping my exhaust fell off before the cherrybomb and then my wipers stopped working... blah. Still runs at least.
SO the snow is good. Finals haven't started. I have been sleeping a lot. Been eating too much. And I might see those dirty Midd boys this weekend at the race.
Can't complain too much
