Beautiful Day of Skiing Today
Haig Glacier Skiing
Yesterday the skiing was alright. Today it was unreal. The beautiful weather helped. Great conditions for a July distance ski. Matt and I put in a solid 2:45 ski in the morning. It takes 45 minutes up and 30 minutes down going really easy (HR 100) to travel to the trails.
Looking back at camp 15 minutes into the morning hike
Beautiful Conditions and Excellent Training.
Today was my first day skating and first time on Nordic Ultratune’s new warm grind the PL3. Not sure where the name comes from but they ran really well. I was gliding away from Matt who even had JetStream on his boards.
Matt testing out this years new Salomon boots
We are skiing nice and easy up here. I have been trying to keep the heart rate low. The altitude 2700m makes it feel really hard up here. We did some lactate testing today and I am pleased to be at 1.0mmol for 130bpm. We are looking to stay under 1.5-2mmol.
The afternoon the weather really cleared up and we enjoyed a nice run followed by a stretch on the heli pad. Not a bad view.
