Bradbury & Bowdoinham

We did a fairly stout bounding workout at Bradbury yesterday and a classic rollerski in Bowdoinham today - I've rediscovered Ridge Rd. as a great rollerski venue.

All of a sudden I'm really into this grass rollerskiing stuff for technique work - Jeff's antics from a couple weeks ago have inspired me.

Wild stallions gotta run free.

A look at the Bradbury landscape. It's hardly a mountain at all, but it's pretty rugged in places.

Part of the trail we used for bounding. I use the word "trail" loosely - it was more of a secret ninja route. There was a fair amount of tree-dodging and improvisation - always good to keep things lively.

A view from the top.

Elissa and Erin. It really wasn't this dark, but there was a nice gloomy forest feel to this part of the mountain.

Emma looking rather possessed.

The boys, route-finding.

This was a hard workout - Sanville might have gotten his lactate above 2 mmols on this one.

Wicked psyched to see you guys getting into it--hard intervals means that the start of the race season is getting closer! 10 days til the start of the World Cup!
