Below are some pictures from the last couple weeks of training. Our summer training focuses on a few key things: building an aerobic base, improving technique on rollerskis, and gaining specific strength. We’ve been doing a wide variety of activities including cycling, running, hiking, rollerskiing, ski-walking, strength and games.
Above is a picture of Anna Franceschetti and Tatum Braun skiing through the Range with a huge group of biathletes in the background. We saw folks from Latvia, Brazil, Canada and the US Junior National Team training at the Range. They are preparing for North American Biathlon Rollerski Championships this coming weekend, 8/10-8/11.
Coach and mentor Brendan Copley along with a group of athletes at the end of our run through the North End of Burlington. Everyone ran between 8.5 and 9.5 miles — mostly on trails — and we finished at North Beach!
This is a big group of rollerskiers headed up the Bolton access road. After skiing up to the ski area we did several ski walking intervals.
While running through the North End we took a photo with our sponsors. Just kidding.
Catamount Family Center held the XC Pro Tour Mountain Bike Championships this past weekend. Jeriho native Lea Davison won both days of racing and she is headed off to World Championships in South Africa.
Our Saturday morning hike up Mt Mansfield was gloomy and windy. We had a few slips and splashes in the mud and water, but everyone made it out safely. Thanks to Ken and Vicky Bruce for leading us on some new trails and hosting our BBQ!!
