Sunny Morning at Lot 1

lizkantackNovember 8, 2011

Today we spent the morning at Lot 1 working on skate speeds. We had team line up two or three at a time and do a slightly downhill start and then, without pushing the pace, carry their speed around a wide sweeping corner and then turn it on again to sprint into the finish. It was a good chance for everyone to work on their starts, finishes, and also on their racing tactics. Better to lead? Better to come from behind? Skyler talked with the team about how he approaches starts and race tactics – really helpful input from a teammate. Check out the pictures below and tons more here. We started off practice with some slaloms & one leg slaloms.
