Week 5: Pinedale Race

By -
When I close my eyes, I am still flashing on the race weekend and I am so jazzed for the rest of the season!  It was so fun to watch you all take the stage for the first races and start slaying some dragons!!  It was also incredible to hear you cheer on your team mates.

I would like to especially give a big shout out to our senior girls Rachel and Amy for embracing Toni on to their relay team!  What I beautiful team of girls!

I also would have to say my favorite quote of the weekend was "You know I love a good mustache" by Albert Steiner

I've been pondering our sexy mind talks and how would be the best way to do them.  It always seems that with our busy lives after practice, we get cut short and a lot of people have leave.  So for this season I have decided to do it on our blog!  Please don't hesitate to ask Brian and I questions.

So here it goes for this week I am going to leave it up to one of the fastest skiers in the world to lead our sexy mind conversation.

I remember having many conversations after everyones races this weekend about how they didn't "feel quite right yet."  So here is a blog post from Jessie Diggins about feeling exactly the same way!

Eat Your Wheaties!

Breakfast Is For Champions By: Abigail Larson MS, CSCS You’ve heard it before, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. But if you are like many athletes breakfast is a mere afterthought if even a thought at all. But you are different than most people; you are an athlete and that makes breakfast not just important but essential for success in sport, work and/or school. Skipping breakfast slows your body’s ability to burn calories (metabolism) and brain function, and you set yourself up to raid the school vending machine by midmorning. When your blood sugar crashes you’re not likely to make nutritionally wise choices and it’s easy to go for a quick “fix” that will send you crashing again later in the day. This “crash” will cause your training and sports performance to suffer because you won’t have the energy necessary to keep up with your well-nourished teammates and competitors. To train and compete optimally you must eat optimally from start to finish everyday. Lots o

3rd Week - Endurance Block

By -
 Greetings Skiers!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and got to eat a lot of good food!  I also hope you are ready to rock out some more dryland training this week. From the forecast, we don't have much snow in the near future (maybe some this weekend.)  However, if that changes be ready to do some skiing!   If you did a lot of training over the break, make sure you are recovering and being able to absorb all the work you did! Please come prepared to be outside for practice to do more strength circuits, hill bounding, and running!  The workouts in red are optional workouts for those of you who are feeling you need to get in more hours. I am working on planning a ski for Saturday and will let you know more as we get closer! Monday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run on your own   Monday PM:   30 min. Run / Core & Yoga at 3:30 in the Yellow Pod and Nutrition talk!  Tuesday PM:   20 min. Warm-up Run / Strength Circuit / 10 min. Cool Down  Wednesday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run-on your
