Masters 1k uphill run

It was a dark and chilly night at the Range on Thursday, but calm skies and bright trailside lights meant the conditions were fast for the first official MNC Masters 1k Uphill Run Test (which needs a shorter name!).

We decided to measure fitness and speed with a tough course from the bottom of Badger Loop up to the red Range Flag near the parking lot. Look for the Strava segment soon: we’re thinking this will be a good test to repeat on snow as well as pavement! The gauntlet has been thrown down and we look forward to adding more course times and seeing improvements as the seasons progress.

 

A second running of the course...together!

Everyone tackled the course a second time afterward, because it turned out to be a pretty fun way to dig deep…plus, skiers always love embracing the challenge of an uphill!

Masters Southridge 6K TT

This Sunday saw the fourth running of the Southridge Time Trail with the largest group of skiers yet.  Strong winds out of the South definitely challenged the skiers, but nonetheless strong performances and a fun time was had by all  competitors.  If you missed this round, don’t worry there will be a second running in November.

Overall, the course record still stands at 17:55 by Rick Schaaf with a full list of results on our google doc.

The course profile can be viewed on Strava.

Practice update -1/7/14 12:55 PM

12:55 PM Dan is tilling and doing his best to loosen up the ice but there is skiing.  Overall conditions will be fast and icy so please use caution at all times especially on any down hills. Novices may have difficulty today please use your own judgement on your level of participation.

Recommendation – use old/rock skis.  For BK we still want kids to bring running shoes for some inside activities. Same goes for Masters – we will incorporate some core/balance/ski erg workouts into todays practice.

10:15 AM We are waiting for a groomers report to see if we can ski today and will post an update here as soon as possible.  At this point we suggest being prepared for both indoor and outdoor activities with or without skis.  Dress in layers, bring skate skis and running shoes along with a positive attitude and we will make the best of the situation.
