Photo Roundup from the past week
Whew! Our “recovery week” flew by…
Everyone seemed really tired – mentally and physically – by the end of last week (which was a “volume week” which means is was oriented around longer workouts at lower- to moderate-intensity). So it was great timing to have an easier week of training with shorter workouts and less tiresome workouts.
This morning we had approx 6 of our MNC athletes and several parents make the trek down to Waitsfield for a Central VT Co-op rollerski race. It was a really challenging course along East Warren Rd and finishing up a ~1,000m climb up. The scenery was beautiful and the views downt here are hard to beat.
