Tricky day today – with the weather really heating up and directly affecting the way the course had to be set. Still, whether skiing is an art or a science the racer has to be able to adapt to all conditions. Alex also seemed a bit “off”, perhaps tired – but the afternoon session was far more productive.
Good Consolidation
Staying forward and avoiding rotation. Getting to the end of the course. Fight to stay in the course and never lose concentration and focus.
Skating
Here’s how the “skating” works. Interesting he says skate from the heel – which is what I’ve always done until recently in skiing.
Mike – much improved technique. Needs work on angulation now – to be more on one leg. This “unconfuses” the body as posture seems to relate reflexively to a one legged activity.
