Team Testing


It is testing season for those in school and those in HURT country.  But unlike the chap pictured above, HURT skiers are enthusiastically crushing it on the slopes of West Mountain and roads in Saratoga.

Coach Halligan and the HURT uphill TT'ers ready to roll up West. 

The sessions this week are focused on gathering baseline times that can be used to track progress throughout the training season.  HURT's three tests: West Mountain uphill TT run, Canadian Strength Test, and a 2.97 K skate TT at SPAC.  We hope to see big gains in all areas as athletes prepare for the new season and JN's in Lake Placid.  Great job by the athletes who ripped through the rainy TT.  Success doesn't wait for sunny days!

Oh Canada!
