HURT nordic had a strong turnout this Sunday in Lake Placid as skiers from around the country gathered in Lake Placid for a technique session with some of USA's finest skiers and coaches. Garrett Kuzzy, Matt Whitcomb, and Chris Grover led the mixed group of skiers through strength drills, agility progressions, and drills on rollerskis to improve double poling, V1 and V2 skating. Kvam and MDH were joined by Chris and Will Frielinghaus and a van full of young Queensbury skiers some of who may be hoping to one day ski for HURT.
Technique drills stressed compact double poling with emphasis on core impulse and skate technique with acute ankle flexion and perfect body position and stabilization.
Special Thanks to team CXC for taking the time to help all the skiers from NY, New England and the Midwest. It is true that Midwestern folk may be the nicest people you'll ever meet. Stay tuned for a special HURT video highlighting the events of the day and the many lessons learned.....coming soon
Some local skiers were conspicuously absent.... especially from a team that is based out of a nearby town that won't be named but ends in "eru"
Team Note: This Wednesday. HURT practice will be in Clifton Park. Meet at 5:45 near the corner of Moe and Rt. 146. See the team schedule for better directions at hurtnordic.netne.net
See you then
Hey Dave, My connection is too slow to upload the videos to hotmail. If you bring your laptop tomorrow, we can manually download from the camera.
