Kris Freeman.

\r\nYesterday Kris Freeman set a new personal record and official course record for the Soldier Hollow 10km time trial. His time of 37:09 beat the old course record he shared with Scott Loomis by 2 seconds. This is actually a big improvement because we have done very little pure running in the past two months and only a hand-full of hard sessions running. Prior to the previous time trials we have done both more pure running workouts and more hard running sessions. Our increased emphasis this year on ski specificity has meant less running that is not a part of a bounding, ski walking, spenst or combi workouts and most of our intensity work has been ski specific. For this reason Kris’ and the others improvement was fitness based and not because they has improved their running efficiency.

Just a perfect day.

\r\nAlso setting PR’s were Justin Freeman, Leif Zimmermann and Zack Simons. Leif battled through some serious stomach cramps and put down an impressive solo sprint to the finish. It is cool to see someone throw down all alone like that. There was nothing on the line, no one close by to race in only me out there holding a stopwatch, a notebook and a pencil. And in charges Leif, running up the finishing straight like gold was on the line. And really it is.
\r\nWendy Wagner tied her own 5km PR on the track – a good indication that she is back after suffering a tough year last year. She is back in the best shape of her life. She ran with Hillary Patzer who also set her PR on the track – but it was also her first 5km on the track ever.
\r\nMost of the other athletes also came close to their PR so, having not run much, we are looking at the results as a very good sign of improvement.
