Training Zones!!

Levels One and Two Skiers talk a lot about training levels, usually numbering them one through five, but, if my experience over the past decade and a half is any indication, truly understanding when and how to use the various levels is rare. This is the first in a three-part article about proper use of the various training levels. It is based on my background both as a skier and as a runner, and includes some of my thoughts based on the writings of the running coach Jack Daniels, whose books make interesting reading, particularly for skiers looking for a fresh point of view about training. Level one is the place where most of us spend most of our training time. Despite this, it can be a little tricky to either stay in or to define. Basically, level one is an easy training pace where you can still talk as you run or ski (or bike or paddle, etc.). Level one is often defined as a heart rate between 60% and 70%

Lighted Hoodie!!

Hey! If anyone is interested in making a hoodie like Jacob's (aka "Ninja"), he would be willing to help you make one on the Cody trip. Here are the supplies that you will need: battery operated lights (Ace hardware - on sale for $5!), two hoodies (Wal-Mart has 'em cheap. buy the cheapest ones you can!), masking tape (if you team up, you'll only need one roll), scissors (not knives, not teeth, not a sharp pointy stick - scissors -accept no substitutes!) Also if anyone wants to host a team dinner before Cody please let me know. Thanks! For Training tomorrow, it is a recovery week so if you are still tired from the race take the day off. If you are not tired do a LSD ski for an 1:15.

Casper Race!

Here is the plan for Casper. Thursday: We will be waxing. If you are waxing on your own clean your classic skis then brass brush both your classics and your skates. After you are done brushing them, iron on start green or swix green LF. It is going to be cold and dry. Let your skis cool then scrape them and brush with a brass and nilon brush. You can use a polishing brush if you would like it is up to you. Friday: You will be dissmissed at 11:26, when you get out for lunch at the high school. Be on the bus loaded by 11:15. Jr. high skiers go eat lunch and then head out after that we will be there to pick you up by 12:30. When we get to Casper we will head strait up to the Mountain. The race starts at 5:30. It is a 3x1 K Relay. We will eat dinner at the mall. Saturday: Race Starts at 9:00am. It is a classic 5k for varsity. 3k Freestyle for JV.
