It's hard to believe, but this is the last week of classes for the Fall 2012 semester. The team is pretty maxed out balancing training, school work and upcoming finals, but we are succeeding in getting in some quality workouts when we can. Last Friday we found some snow and had a great (i.e. SUPER hard) L4 skate interval workout. On Sunday we headed out to Cambridge for a long distance skate ski and were surprised with some beautiful weather. We all would have preferred a white out, but the warm weather was a nice 2nd option. There is some salt/sand on the roads, but still skiable and the technique work we've been doing on snow transferred nicely onto pavement. Today's workout is the annual CREW/XC Erg race. Each athlete will race 4 minutes and then hand off the erg to the next teammate. Teams of 3 will race for 48 minutes, so each athlete will get 16 minutes of race time making for a very difficult workout. The cheering will be LOUD! See the pic below for what the setup looks like in Lasalle Gym for this event.
