Switching Gears: Morning Training

Today was a great day. Start of second quarter (first quarter tests are behind us!), start of our morning training schedule, a beautiful sunny day, and a really giggly and goofy team. We started off this morning with our weekly team meeting where we went over the schedule for this week and what’s coming up in the next few weeks (Nationals week, Thanksgiving break, fall camp). Then we headed out for an 1:30 double pole around campus before lunch and afternoon classes. Above, Anika is all smiles. : )
Tess kick-DP’ing her way to the top.
Mollie.
Rizio & Kate.
Mollie & Brooke, quick water break and some technique pointers.
Hamish.

Murph.
Calvin.
Anika.
Charlie & Tyler.
Skyler, Murph & Calvin.
Skyler.Classes today were from 12:30pm to 5:15pm. After class we hit the gym for some strength.
The team warms up on spin bikes before starting our strength routine.

Murph, getting after it.

“Woodchoppers” – throwing the medicine ball as hard as you can against the ground to your partner.

Yeah Sver!

Wooo!
Mac takes it to the rollerboard.

Corky’s a blur!

Kate.

Tyler, ski-erging.

Rizio, giving it all she’s got.

Boobs gives Gino a hand.

One handed med-ball crunches.

Calvin.

Tess.

Charlie was in rare form this afternoon. : )

Anika, taking care of business.

When planks are just too easy…

Snow in Anchorage!

Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday, the kind of Sunday that people dream about. Crepes, sledding, snowfall, burgers for lunch, Top Gear, the works. After a tough and rewarding time trial up at Hatcher Pass on Saturday, Sunday really hit the spot. It was definitely good for the soul, in addition to the tired legs.

Anchorage has been inundated with a lot of snow in the past couple of days, and while the driving is a little bit iffy, the skiing is about to be brilliant. It is supposed to keep snowing a little bit for the rest of the day, but we already have enough at hillside to make perfect ski conditions. After some grooming and cold weather, it’s going to be fantastic.

Aside from the awesome skiing, the snowfall is also a sort of symbol. In my mind, it’s like a gong indicating the start of the season. It harmonizes with a slew of other indicators that racing is about to begin. This week is our first week of toned-down training, my body is coming out of training suppression, snow is everywhere, we’re time trialling twice this week, and we’re only two weeks from hitting the road!

Every year is different, but this christmas-like anticipation happens annually. I just cannot wait to hit the road: throw down against other North Americans, find out how well preparations really went, and spend some time bopping from race to race with my buddies at APU. It’s going to be a great year!

[Another great indicator that things are going well: the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner posted the Fast and Female writeup on the sports page a few days ago. We’ll get more girls next year! Fairbanks Daily News-Miner – Rorabaugh pays it forward with Fast and Female in Fairbanks ]

Muonio: then and now

Its hard to imagine how different our experience in Muonio, Finland has been since we were here last year. Normally cold snowy weather has been replaced by warm temperatures and steady rain. Despite the unseasonable weather, the grooming staff at Olos has done well to provide great skiing for the numerous national and club skiers frequenting the 3k loop. Today the track was closed to skiing as the workers frantically reallocated precious snowpack from one of the out-back sections to shore up the racecourse for the coming competitions on the weekend.

Perfect trails awaiting us the first day

Reserve snow-pack opposite the biathlon stadium last year

This years pile… The groomers said they stockpiled more snow for upcoming season than ever before but a warm rainy September resulted unprecedented melt

Workers at Olos uncovering the last bit of snow summered over in the half pipe by the alpine area. The excavator breaks up and removes the frozen wood chips that cover the snow-pack and the front end loader moves the 6 month old snow

Saving 3k worth of snow over the summer neccesitates a huge amount of woodchips

Although the weather seems to be conspiring against us, the skiing has remained solid. Its seems we are past the worst of the rain and the mercury is finally dropping after 2 pretty nasty weeks. Big thanks to the workers at Olos for all of their hard work keeping the tracks open and several hundred people on snow. The races this weekend should certainly prove interesting with large competitive fields tearing around the shortened race loop. Might look a bit like this…

Team Ukraine
The FasterSkier countdown continues (and is joined by NordicXplained). Per usual, I like reading about the nations I don’t always follow as closely, like the Ukranians. The distance results for the four skiers mentioned in the FasterSkier article are below:

Roman Leybyuk had a string of strong results between 2002 and 2006, but has been slowly regressing since then. Valentina Shevchenko has been their mainstay for well over a decade, with several WC wins and countless top ten finishes. She too has fallen off slightly the last two seasons, but probably shouldn’t be counted out. Lada Nesterenko I don’t know much about. She’s been very consistently mediocre since 2008. 2007 was an interesting year for her. Her only major international competitions were at World Championships where she racked up a 7th, 17th and 25th in distance events. She did only around 6 other FIS races that year and while she won two of those races, they were Baltic Cups. In the more competitive Scandinavian Cups she was 14th and 25th.

Just to round things out, the sprint results (WC, WSC, etc.) for these four:

No sprinting specialists here, although Shevchenko can occasionally move up through the heats.
