Update: We see folks posting time trial results, that is great!
If you are looking for a decent Rollerksi 5k course, try the neighborhood next to MV. The full outer loop is 1 mile, so 3 laps is a 5k. Keep the results rolling in, go team! Focus for the week: Determining baselines for aerobic fitness via time trials. This will help you determine your fitness baseline and you will use your results to determine pacing in future workouts. There will be two forms of time trials - running and skate rollerskiing. You are highly encouraged to do both if you are equipped. Running is a great indicator of your raw aerobic fitness without the added factor of ski technique. Even if you don't do much running in the off-season, this time trial is important because it will help show how your aerobic ability has improved throughout the summer. If you have access to a track or treadmill, that is the best place to do this. Otherwise, you can use GPS watch or a website like Map My Run to determine a 3k course on roads (try to find a course that's as flat as possible). For those that have equipment, there will also be a skate roller ski time trial. Find a something close to a 5K course that feels safe and doable. You will use this same course later in the summer to judge your improvement. If you need some suggestions, email Coach Lisa for some ideas. REMINDER - These time trials must be done alone - no training partners at this time. This is for safety but also is good practice. Racing and training solo is good practice for our season where we are doing interval starts. Practice pushing yourself to the max even if there is no one around you.
