Anthony Lakes Camp

I'm a little bit behind, so I'm finally getting around to writing about the training camp that Tannis and I went to a week ago up in NE Oregon. PNSA camp at Anthony Lakes, mostly J1 and OJ skiers from the region, with other college skiers from Williams, SLU, Dartmouth, Whitman, and MSU. The week looked something like this:

Monday and Tuesday- easy, not at camp yet, total 1.5 hours

Wednesday- Morning: 1:15 run in Bend, pretty hard cause none of the other girls showed up. Left for camp. Afternoon: 2:15 skate roll with 4x7.5 minutes just below threshold, 2 of which were no pole, climbing from the flats up into the hills.

Thursday- Morning: 2:00 classic roll, level 1. Lots of downhill, then turned around and went right back up. Video, technique. Afternoon: bounding. 6x100m moosehoof, 6x100m bounds, 6x3.5 minute threshold+ moosehoof/bound/skiwalk intervals, total 1:30-1:45.

Friday- Morning: 2:00 skate roll, level 1, 5x4 minute no pole. Consistent uphill for the second half. Video, technique. Afternoon: spenst, strength, soccer, 2:00 hours.

Saturday- Morning: classic time trial. 5k, all uphill (400m of double poling about 3k in, the rest a very steady grade). Tannis beat me, 11 seconds. Afternoon: no boundaries capture the flag. Um, yeah, real serious training...

Sunday- 3:45 run/hike. Supposed to be 5 hours, but it was about 40 degrees, raining, and windy, and I couldn't feel my legs well enough to know that I had sliced them climbing through some granite boulders. Everyone was numb.

And while I know that 7,000 ft is nothing for Trevor, that's where the cabins were, and that's higher than the base of Bachelor, so it's elevation for me.

Makes it kinda hard to go back to training on my own, but the summer's closing up. See you all soon!
