Training Log Archive: salal

Conditions were crap, so we did not try to classic (although I waxed them the night before - never had to wax a kick zone before). Skate skied up a long hill, then back down (boys ahead, and me waiting for Olav sometimes). Generally pretty decent effort up, then tired/weak and hungry on the way down (was thinking about the part of this comic where he says his legs are hungry, but it was my whole body).

Run to Bislett, then run to the start of the training

5 times o-tervals - with the foreigners group: Cristina and Illiana

Run back with Cristina after

Sprint race, lots of longer legs - one leg where the main trick was to notice you had to go way around (i.e. you couldn't get through). Felt like I was doing better at reading ahead somewhat on most legs...

O-morgen from a few weeks ago. Turns out that its harder to run in the soggy packed down snow than when it was fluffy... legs got really cold, so didn't stay out too long. I had been waiting for it to stop raining in the city, but that never happened - it was slush snowing out on the map.

Run to bislett, one lap when we got there, plus silly walks

6 times 2 laps of Bislett (1092m)

Few laps warm down, plus run home

Attempt to classic ski, but I had no grip because I did not have the right wax for the conditions (or the conditions were too bad for wax, and required klister... ;)

Warm up / down on slightly snowy / slippery roads

4 times a loop on roads, by myself... 4 boys way ahead and lapped me right at the end.
10:01 (2 laps, forgot to press the split... )
