The past month of training has been awesome. We started out with a few light days in Canmore before we traded with the academy and ran in to Haig glacier. This was my first time up with such a small group and only having guys so we had tons of room to spread out. We only had one nice bluebird day on the glacier the first time. I put in some solid hours and made some big progressions with technique. For the first time some of us skied in the morning before running out which made for a long workout but I've come to find that mixing up the activities for long sessions makes it much less mentally taxing.
After a zone 3 session a a little more light training we headed back up. The day ran in, a few of us hike to the glacier and skied as well, this proved to be a little scary. A we we're putting boots on, a big thunder storm came in and lead to an all out sprint off the glacier and back to the safety of the huts. We had pretty massive hours this time up but training was done well and r+r was well needed.
Upon running out we headed for Golden to get lower altitude and easier resting. After 3 days of rollerskiing and more z3 intensity we kicked it back into Sunshine resort to hike into assiniboine.
We hiked the 30k in to lake Magog in 6hrs and set up for the next 3 nights, we got a couple amazing Rike's(run/hike) in before we headed out a different way (mt shark) and drove to Kamloops and then Whis.
The last few days we had two hard intensities and some light biking to recover in between.
Well it's time for me to board my delayed flight to Montreal and I'll hopefully not miss my connection to paris this afternoon.
Ps pics will follow next week
