Switching Gears

Today was the last day of summer program with Piotr and Go! Training.  And there's no better way than to go out on top than with classic threshold intervals on the Coulee in Afton.  Everyone looked so strong, and the progress that has been made over the summer was very evident.  Personally, I have been focusing on lengthening out my classic stride and increasing my range of motion.  I have resumed PT on my shoulder, and thanks to the expertise of Mark at PTOSI, I have gained a lot of mobility in that joint, which has really helped me open my shoulder when skiing.  Next up, I'm off to Colorado to acclimate for TransRockies (Aug 22nd-27th).  By the time I get home it will be time to switch gears for the next phase of the training year, in which I increase the specificity of my training and approach top form for the impending race season.  

The whole Go! Training gang.  Nothing like a great group to motivate you at 7AM practices.

Just another day at the gun show.

Miss Compton shows how its done.

Thanks Avho and Greg at FinnSisu for tuning up my boards!  Now I'm ready for 2 and 1/2 more months of top-notch training before I head out West for the SuperTour opener (eek!)
