New England Winter Tri: Segment 2

New England Winter Tri: Segments 1

Weather - either too cold or too icy - has prevented me from taking a lesson as planned. Hence, I simply went on my own. After each session of flopping about and watching great skiers (a handful of collegiate teams training here!) I either a) ask Nancy Powers Libby or Josh Burgel for advice, or b) watch videos on YouTube. After NPL told about the “hop” technique for climbing, I watched some great videos. While I hardly mastered that technique, I found myself climbing a bit farther and a bit faster today. In doing so, I literally “unearthed” a component of my technique that had been missing. I learned to lift my left (or “glide”) ski. Breakthrough.  Despite thick ice below the 3” of powder, I managed to score my first ever “PRs” in Nordic!!!! Thanks to the trail crews working from sunrise on to groom these trails. And Joe Brenner, I'll take you up on the offer next time I'm at the Weston Ski Track.
