Last Intermountain JNQ!
Current Training Schedule: February 6-12, 2012
Race/Time Trial Results:
JNQ #2: Classic Sprint 1.27.12
5,15k Skate 1.28.12
JNQ#1 Skate Sprint 1.14.12
Classic 5,10k 1.15.12
1.7.12 Classic TT Way to tough it out!
11.25.11 Thanksgiving Camp TT Great job with this last minute time trial announcement. Don’t read into the results at all; this was just to get you moving again and your mind thinking about racing.
11.5.11 3200m tt Good job with the time trial! The cold and lack of people makes it extra tough. I realized that in past years we only did a 3000m, so add ~45+ sec to previous times to equate to this year’s 3200m.
Race Schedule: 2011-2012 race schedule
Comp Team – The Comp Team will begin meeting in mid-October for morning strength sessions while transitioning to 5-6 days a week of training by the November 1 and ending mid March. Training sessions will include weight training, dry land training (including roller skiing) transitioning on to snow. The Comp Team focuses on building base strength- moving towards specific strength, improving aerobic capacity through level 2 training, and becoming accustomed to working near aerobic threshold through level 3 and 4 interval training. We will continually build confidence with the ability to achieve goals through regular and intelligent training and taking appropriate rest.
The Comp Team travels together in the team van and trains at a variety of locations including Izaac Walton Inn, Stillwater Nordic, Glacier Nordic Center at Whitefish Golf Course, Big Mountain, Round Meadows, Blacktail, and ski touring in the greater Flathead Valley. The team travels to races both locally and throughout the Intermountain region.
