Starting to get the hang of this!
This is finals week for UW so be sure to prioritize school even MORE than usual. We will have practice for those who don't have much going on but be sure you are taking care of things! Remember that we will not only post the team training but additional training based upon our Peppers. If you don't know what we mean by Peppers you can check it out at Peppers - Training Groups Reminder: if you don't know your Pepper please discuss it with coaches. Training is just like with eating hot peppers - it doesn't matter how much you WANT to do nor how much you think you should do but how much your body is actually able to handle. Thus to reach your best performance from year to year you want to be thoughtful in your approach to increasing your training load. Team Training
Peppers All additional workouts should be Over Distance or Active Recovery at this time. You can also choose the type of activity you would like. Anything will work as long as you are in the correct zone!

 We're going to break through the old tired muscles to grow new, fresh fitness. Just like these crocuses! We hope you all had a fantastic spring thus far and are starting to feel like it's time to get going!
Starting with this week we will not only post the team training but additional training based upon our Peppers. If you don't know what we mean by Peppers you can check it out at Peppers - Training Groups If you don't know your Pepper please discuss it with coaches.

Thus to reach your best performance from year to year you want to be thoughtful in your approach to increasing your training load. We will start slowly with the team training and ramp it up as we move forward. You will find the team training first and then the individual pepper training below that. YOUR training will be a combination of the two. If you want to improve and see how fast you can go you want to add just the right amount of additional training to the team training, that's where the Peppers come in! Some weeks will have more additional hours than others, so you'll want to pay attention. Team Training

 Jumping for joy after a great season! Ready for some fun! Wow! What an amazing season of ski racing! So many wonderful memories and excitements!
This is a great time of the year to really focus in on not only recovering the body, but also recovering the mind. So look at the activities that you enjoy to do and get out there and do those. Start to blend in multiple activities whether it be casual paddling (Canoe or Kayak), easy mountain biking, easy road biking, disc golf, regular golf while walking the course, hiking, rock climbing, Back Country or Alpine Skiing, backpacking, salsa dancing, swimming, snorkling, surfing, ice skating, fly fishing, etc. Do not worry about any specific training, just have fun enjoying different activities while you are regenerating from the past year's training. We will be starting over with a new training year sometime in April. See you then! Dragons Slain and serious R & R are needed!  Wow! What a rough weekend! Cold, wind, hosting and skiing races!
Tough to imagine something much harder but it looks like we all made it and are now ready for one final push! We will be training this week without our gear, since it will be in a trailer on the way to Lake Placid NY but we'll still be getting it done! This is the final week of peaking, which unfortunately corresponds for many of you with midterms. With this in mind please be sure to do as much work as you can while lying in your bed with your legs up the wall. Rest, good food, hydration and sleep is the order of the week so try to prioritize it as you are able. Also, please stop any extra activities you have been doing like morning runs, time to rest up for the final battle! Monday: TAKE A NAP. That is the official training for the day so do it!
