So, you think you can Jump?!?, Episode 2

Wow, what an interesting week. But super fun. Us Nordic-ers started the week off on a rough…errr…path. Yeah, the bike path. Initially I was nervous, as I was one some super fast and sketchy roller skis as Haakon borrowed mine. But, things started off going pretty well, with a short lived race against some DEVO riders as they cruised by. We took some time at the end of the path to talk about positioning in more depth and check out a groovy new patio. The trip back proved to be a little more interesting with a crash or 3. I seriously though Lily was going to lose a tooth.

Wednesday I decided to try out a new workout that I’ve been thinking about. The goal is to help us increase our explosive strength, leading to better sprinting as well as use of power during distance races. The workout involved steep hills, a lot of jumping, med ball double pole races, sprinting, and tons of fun.

This weekend was an incredible one to be in Durango for. Beyond the roller ski video session, and the fabulous weather, it was also Taste of Durango and dance performances from many current DNSC members. Kaylee, Lily, Mattie, and Maggie along with many other dancers from Durango put on a wicked cool show on Saturday night. For me it was cool to see those guys in a different context, having fun, and putting on a great show!

Here’s looking forward to next week and remember…just two more weeks of school!!
