Just ride 12 miles in 45mins on the bike. Average pace 3:46 a mile and that was with a relatively slow warm up. No sprints/intervals just good solid consistent speed. Skated on Monnday and definitely notice an increase in power and ankle strength from my training since camp!

It is TOO HOT! Not being able to practice outside cause of the heat is tough, because you can do so much outside. I guess I could wake up at like 530 or 6 in the morning to go cycling!

Work in' the legs this morning! Wow, working with resistance bands is incredible and tough! If you think resistance bands are for girls I DARE you to try them!

Ah felt so good to get on the ice again after two weeks of pure dryland. Felt great! gettin' low and really feeling like I have more power in my stroke and getting a lot lower in the corners and much better balance on inside edge of left blade! Sometimes less training, but smarter training is more beneficial than hours and hours of training. I'll post some pics real soon of all the new equipment I got. On a side note, as I was finishing up practicing today a girl came up to me and said, "You were awesome!" It is really cool to get a compliment like that when you have been working so hard! You don't have to do crazy stuff to show off when you speed skate, because it is so uncommon, you just have to do your normal training routine and people will notice :-)

My recovery day! I love these days cuz they keep you from burning out and overtraining. Got a great bike ride in yesterday about 10mi at a 16mph pace. I can't wait to ride this week, because it will be in the upper 50's! All my new training equipment should be coming in soon as well. Really excited! Been really focusing this past week on balance and basic position. It is SO important to be solid in basic position and balance. If you don't have these you WILL NOT be a good skater!
