Hot enough fer ya!
Last Friday....high noon on the Gateway trail doing progressive skate roller
ski intervals. The workout, with lots of rest in between repeats and cool down time, was about an hour. I was completely baked when I got back to my car. Temp was 94F with significant humidity when I finished and I was thinking that I could not do this in any hotter weather. What were the hottest conditions that you ever roller skied in...I think I have found my limit John OC |

It's been pretty hot here too. The other day, like an idiot, I was out in 35
degrees and I started late in the afternoon. It has been crazy hot over her (Germany and the rest of Europe) Is there some kind of summer rollerski boot. I've already put a massive rip in my boots so I am not looking forward to the winter. I've either got hot and sweaty feet or cold and icy feet. Hahaha.....Great! :O) "John O'Connell" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:xD30b.141829$cF.52503@rwcrnsc53... Last Friday....high noon on the Gateway trail doing progressive skate roller ski intervals.

Remember this a winter sport. With it that hot maybe an interval workout
might have been saved for another day. The FrontRunner That's even to hot for golf "John O'Connell" wrote in message news:xD30b.141829$cF.52503@rwcrnsc53...

John, Next time you're in LA get ahold of rsn lurker Hank Garretson and
join him for a rollerski in the high desert. Maybe you'll get to try a dry 90 degrees at 9 or 10 am. I'm finding this year that if the temp is much above 80, when I use one part of my body, such as legs for cycling or skating w/o poles, then I can do well. But put upper and lower together and things start feeling hard. Gene John O'Connell wrote: Last Friday....high noon on the Gateway trail doing progressive skate roller ski intervals.

Just got back from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Did intervals yesterday
morning at -7C (19F) on extra blue before getting on the plane in the afternoon. We had two weeks of good skiing, although they had the warmest July on record, so conditions were a little worse than usual down there. Pretty cool to be in winter, though. -Nathan http://nsavage.com "John O'Connell" wrote in message news:xD30b.141829$cF.52503@rwcrnsc53...

Hi Justin,
It was one of the Subaru Factory Team Academies that we are running. I partnered up with a company (SkiFire) that ran the trip itself, and we focused on the instructional part of the camp. SkiFire did all the logistics (hotel, transport, meals, grooming) and provided translation services, which we would definitely not have been able to handle without them. We had 9 people down there, with 3 doing the full Subaru Factory Team Academy, and the rest taking part in a few days of the Academy and a few days on their own. You could make it on your own down there, but it would be rough without a good Spanish speaker and local knowledge. The biggest issue down there is consistent grooming. We paid the local club to provide grooming at our standards. It did not work out perfectly as we did not have as many kilometers as we had hoped, but we skied every day on at least 10km of freshly groomed trail and had 40km available for about a week. Without this special arrangement, though, I've heard that it is very unreliable, and they generally only have 5-10km. The dates for our trip will probably be about the same next year (August 8-18th), because we plan it around the big 21km FIS race they have down there. They have about 700 people in the race and it's quite an event. You can see info on the trip at http://skifire.com. -Nathan http://nsavage.com "Justin F.

That is very cool (as in hip ;-) ). Was this trup some sort of a package deal or did you set it up yourself? I'd be really interested in doing something similiar. Would you do it again? What about the language barrier? Are there lots of places to ski? Thanks. J -- Justin F. Knotzke http://www.shampoo.ca |
