About 15 minutes from campus is Browns Bridge road, I named so (I assume) because of the brown metal grate bridge you cross on the approach. It's a great place to go fast; a long uphill that we use for our testing climbs straight up, and numerous side roads curve, dip and wind like a ski course around the perimeter. Lanky, Kyle, Bogden, Connor and I were out for a little specific strength intervals this morning. After a warmup around the bottom roads we headed up for intervals alternating between no-pole skating and double-poling. We were all on different pages due to fatigue, sickness (the SLUbonic plague is sweeping campus as usual) and whatnot, but we all managed to get some good skiing in. Lanky got some footage of our intervals which you can check out below.
We're all putting in serious work, and it's clear people have been putting in their serious work over the summer too. Wolcott put on a clinic in a practice 3000 the other day, but almost everyone else also made big improvements over last years times. Other than that its just the standard killer ski training you know and love: Intervals at SUNY Canton, endless laps around Partridge, terrifying rock climbing/hiking excursions to the Adirondacks, getting our swell on in the gym and sprinting for town lines. Gotta have the basics.
