The title just about says it all. Well, I guess it described what was happening outside of training…on one night. This past Monday a few of us got together to celebrate a certain someone named Hannah’s birthday! It was cool. Now about the stuff that really matters…. (just kidding! Birthdays matter too!)
Our training this week looked a lot like it did the week before, but better. Tuesday we were back on the bike path cruising through town on our roller skis, taking a water break to watch Cully shred some river in his kayak. No tragic crashes or broken hands this week, which is pretty rare on the bike path. Maybe someday all those sketchy sections will be fixed (with pavement please!!). Our main focus was on ankle bend and keeping our weight forward over the ball of our foot, but once it started raining on the way back, a little of that focus went to speed!
Wednesday we just “jumped” around from place to place, speed hiking with heavy med balls, big jumps on steep hills, ball throw relay TTs (I’d say races, but we were really just racing against ourselves), and of course….parkour (the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment).
Saturday was a steamy one. It finally started to feel like summer again, especially the heat. We hit the pavement for a technique focused session, shooting some great video and getting time to analyze it right away. I look forward to more of these workouts over the next few weeks until we really start to get out technique dialed in. Maybe a little less shirt stealing next time. Maybe….
