Underway!

I'm always excited to start the season, but this year it's been like waiting for Christmas - so glad we're finally underway!  We started up with a fitness testing day on Sunday and then our first official practice day yesterday (ie, more fitness testing).  On Sunday our test was a 2x3k skate/classic rollerski time trial on Penny Road.  Elliot scorched it for the men and Renae posted the top women's time, with Gabby close behind.  This was my first time seeing everyone ski since March, and I was super stoked to see that people have made some noticeable technique improvements - off to a great start!

Name SK CL Total

Russell 9:24 9:11 18:35

Perrin 11:16 10:50 22:06
Triana 11:40 11:28 23:08

Monday was everyone's favorite - the 2k erg test.  Elliot edged out Sean on the men's side, and Gabby posted a nice PR for the top women's time, not far ahead of Mary.  Mary's test was a classic example of a silver lining - she's been out with a knee injury for the last couple weeks, but she's obviously been using her training time well!
Women Time

Our agility test was rained out this morning, sadly, but we had a nice on-foot session with all kinds of good stuff - agility, coordination, elasticity, and a little spenst.  Good solid general strength workout this afternoon - looking forward to the big finish at Morse Mountain tomorrow!
