Pineland Sprint

After coming back from Acadia, we jumped right into an intensity week, with three VO2max workouts in a 4 day span:  classic intervals up Gloucester Hill, double pole intervals on Highland, and bounding intervals at Bradbury.  We finished the week with a skate sprint time trial with Colby (and one Bates skier) at Pineland.  We used the same format as we did for our sprint TT with Bates last year - prelim, then heats with the skiers matched up against others of similar speed (ie, 1-4, 5-8, 9-12).  In the ensuing 3 heats, the top skier moved up and the bottom skier dropped down, which gave everyone something to race for.  Despite coming off of several days of hard training, our skiers gave a good account of themselves.  Shelby won the prelim by a wide margin and dominated all 3 of her heats, and Tyler quickly worked his way up to the top heat and stayed there, finishing 3rd in the final round.  Overall, I was pleasantly surprised - we're looking much sharper than usual at this time of year.  So far, so good!
