Last night was our first time trail of the summer - an individaul start, self timed, approximately 1k double pole up lower afton rd. It was a nice night, and we had a bit of a tail wind (I seem to remember head winds most times), and this lead to some fast times, with 6 people setting new personal bests even though it is early in the season. We had a big group of skiers participating (including Caitlin Compton).

After the time trial we went up into the neighborhoods and worked on double pole kick technique, with some pick-ups thrown in.
Even today my throught is still a bit scratchy from breathing hard during the TT - maybe that's because my body is not used to 1k sprints... got to love the taste of blood in your mouth at the end of a sprint.
I happened to hear some of the guys talking about whether or not they might get "girled" on the time trial, meaning beat by a girl. Only four of the guys escaped that fate, and Derek was awfully close. Long live Caitlin Compton! I hope we see her a lot this summer.
ReplyDeleteBjorn did the time trail course last night before the video work. He did a 2:47 to tie John's time. I think conditions were quite comparable to last week - still a bit of a tail wind, just a bit warmer.
