Mixing it up with the high schoolers
With no snow around here, I went out to Trollhaugen (WI) yesterday.
Before leaving, I knew that the HS kids would pack the place as normal (and my wife said the Roseville bus had just left for Troll). Usually they're done racing about 5-5:30 (and leave about 6) and I arrive about 5:30. If I start later, I don't get home until 10 pm with the hour drive. Last night they seemed to go a little longer than normal. High HR Day ----------- Yesterday was a high HR workout day for me, so I did a couple warm up laps, did two laps (about 2.2 km each) fairly hard, stripped off the warmups and did 4 laps hard. I wanted to go hard dp'ing, to work my back, but the climbing then really drove the HR up there. Swix extra blue was both kicking well and gliding well. You feel pretty bullet-proof when that happens. So last night, the racing was going on later than normal and some parents were out there. They actually had signs up for the start/finish, so I'm guessing this was a section meet. Basically I was doing my classic workout while the kids were doing their 2 lap classic racing. (Unintended overlap.) I stayed out of their way, and when I saw kids pick up the pace (because I was gaining on them), I'd say, "I'm not racing you." Good workout. Hardest workout of the year. Krenz and the Boys ------------------ Tommy Krenz lives next to Trollhaugen, so he's out there almost every night. He arrived about the time I was cooling down. Once the HS skiers left, the place was almost empty (kind of weird), except for 20 guys doing intervals with Tommy. They were doing a short lap, then a full lap ending on at the top for about a 3 km interval. When I left, they were still doing intervals...probably their 4th or 5th. Dan Meyer said, "Evertime I see him, he's skiing hard." I can vouch that Tom wasn't going slow. Jay Wenner |
