X-Cardio For the Mountains: Test Day 2/1/12

I love test day. 

A nice way to check in. See where we're at. Clear the cobwebs. And that we did. Don't forget, this is a new training cycle, and this was Test Day 1 of 3. This is a nine week training cycle for this program. We are intent on keeping everyone fit for their skiing, but also getting a jump start on the late winter and spring mountaineering.

I hate all non-Apple computers. Not sure why, because there are so many other things that I don't understand and bear no ill will towards. But PC's. Grrrrr. My animosity this time is due to the fact that the results from this Test Day are NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! Gone. Zoink. Poof.  

Sorry about that. Human error most likely. But I am going to continue to blame Microsoft.

 The class was a pretty standard test day. The Peaks and Valleys portion was a combo of 3 exercises instead of just one. I chose this because of the more varied demands of Mountaineering. There was about a minute of rest between each group of 3. We took another minute before the game of Peaks and Valleys. 10 minutes was a long time to contend with, and by and large everyone managed pretty well.

 If you are feeling game, you should give it a shot on your own. Or show up next Wednesday. I'm gonna do it again. We need some data to make some comparisons. The only way to get it is to collect it. And it's not like everyone doesn't need the practice.

See you next time!
