Event: 2013 Nationals (Hamilton, CANADA)
 

Sprint Nationals at McMaster. Probably about as fast I could run with my fitness, certainly wasn't clean. The courtyard between the Business School and Togo Sal has always slightly confused me. Few seconds around the tennis courts as well. Then the rest of it was lack of legs. Happy with the run.

Great arena around the Mac Track and really fun doing the announcing up high, felt like calling a track race from the press box.

Sprint Course 5a - Splits

Very gentle cycling during nordic practice while the skiers roller-skied. Saving legs for the weekend.

Getting frost in Edmonton tonight. Looking forward to the warmth of Hamilton for a week.

Well, maybe 90 minutes is a bit long as it includes Will and I watching people run a really fun Frank's race on Sask Drive (won by Frank the Beef as per usual). Nice easy ride to save the legs for the weekend. Good temp to ride and lots of fast looking runners on the trails.

Edmonton Nordic training, mostly hill striding and upper-body pole training.

Some interesting Nationals predictions going on.

Warming up and cooling down on a great night for running.

Final Sprint training at the U of A to prep for Nationals. Another great course by Meghan Rance! We didn't use flags, but tried to get into some sort of flow.

The U of A is a really good sprint spot. Some really narrow spots through buildings, not many cars, pretty dense buildings.

Bunny count: 38 (give or take a couple)

Ski drills with Ulf on Sunday morning, which caused me to miss the MEC gear-swap.

Wanted to ride in the afternoon but just ran out of time.

Excellent technical training at Blackfoot, Meghan Rance did the course, Wil's mom put out the pin-flags. Lots of contours only on open grassland.

Saw a pack of elk running by.

Fun area, I think it has potential to be used more, but the locals might be sick of it.
