8 AM

Dry-Land Training (Race Warm Up) 35:00 [3]

Strides
Dynamic Stretching
4x stairs
2 fast laps(skating)
3 standing starts

I figured out that to have a good start I need to have my core pre-engaged by the position I go down in.

I need to work on my transition into skating and have better lay-ins into the corner so that I can build them.

Long Track Speed Skating 42 [5]

The start was really strong, but a poor lay-in led to a weak corner. I need to have more grit and a faster tempo in the last straight away.
9 AM

Long Track Speed Skating 1:22 [5] 1.0 km (1:22 / km)

I worked hard on building all of the corners and keeping a strong tempo. I think it worked pretty well.

Map Reading (Sprint Map) 15:00 [0]

http://www.danielhubmann.ch//images/stories/maps/2...

This would've been a rough map for me. The first couple of controls had some route choices that weren't obvious, and I probably would've missed about half of them. I did make sure to try and run with as few turns as possible. I tried to quickly determine whether or not I needed to look at my control description for more help early on.

I will definitely have to practice for smooth I can make my running while switching from control description to map.

Does anyone have any suggestions that makes that transition easier?

My main part about control descriptions that I've struggled with in the past was spending 5-10 sec just try to find the right number, is there an easy way not to do that?

6 PM

Short Track Speed Skating 1:10:00 [3]

5min warm up
30lap warm up 11.5-12.8sec lap

Workout:
7x5laps (2 laps work on lay-in at 75% 3 laps build to 90%)

I can tell that I am still getting back into short track. I had to work hard to my lay-in, the best results were when I pushed through my butt and brought my hip forward. It gave me stability on that leg and I just had to continue to do that around the corner to maintain control.

Map Reading 15:00 [0]

http://www.guedels.ch/karten/show_map.php?user=arc...

This was a tough map for how I think, because as soon as I see trails I try to use them. I think I should read more maps like this so that I can do a better job incorporating trails while also thinking about contours.

While I read this map I tried hard to work on having a direct route and no more that 3 checking features along my route. I also use dark green as an attack point and towards the end I got a much better feel for switching from trail to forest.

Map Reading 10:00 [0]

http://www.gustavbergman.se/doma/show_map.php?user...

Planned all routes in 10-15 sec.

It was fairly straight forward, for the long control I looked at it first to see openings then planned forwards. The rest of the controls I tried to minimize turns(to keep high running speed and give more time to look at control descriptions) and stay close to the control line. I quickly decided that controls one and two had to be double checked, and I planned my route to attack them with the ability to recover if I read the control description wrong

http://omaps.worldofo.com/index.php?id=156805

Planned all routes within 20sec

I had troubles planning the long one, which dealt with decided whether to go through the middle route of bottom one. I picked the middle because I could avoid seeing finishers and it had an easy attack point. I need to be more decisive when I'm in a race situation.
5 PM

Warm Up:
2x2 laps
2x2 excels

Workout:
3xx5xx 300m on, 500m off
8min rest

I felt that my form was rough and that I wasn't going too fast. But I realized that I actually skated consistently at around a 28-29sec lap time and wasn't tired at all. Great speed workout, but didn't tire me at all.

Worked on bringing foot through low and not letting my knee collapse by finishing the push with my buttcheek ;P I also built the corner hard and did an extra crossover coming out of it.

I did a good job of skating when I looked forwards and relaxed my arms and neck

My blade came loose again, I need to remember to tighten them before hand
7 PM

4 laps running to flush lactic acid. About a 6min mile pace

We were supposed to work on lay ins but once we started going fast we only thought about speed and never accomplished good lay-ins. Though after the drill I started to gain a lot of control which was really nice to see :)
