Another day of training

We had the course all to ourselves over lunch so we had to be there by 11. This meant that I took the opportunity to sleep in. My whole body is sore today, not just my arms this time. That might have something to do with all those hard landings yesterday. I sat on the spin bike for a bit before I left just to get the muscles warmed up. I heard yesterday that the forecast called for 3 cm of snow today. Well, we got a little more than that! It was windy up top so the t-bar was closed most of the day - there were two snowmobiles taking us to the top of the course instead. The course was running slower today because of all the new snow so it meant we had to pop that much harder to get over some of the jumps. The upside of the new snow was that all of the knuckles were a little softer to land on. Today was the day I was going to do the whole course. I was still a little unsure of how fast I needed to be going in order to make the big jump, the hip jump and the jump at the end of the course. One of the boys (they trained earlier in the day) was nice enough to help me and another girl on the team. I am a terrible judge of how much speed is needed for jumps. He let us follow him through the course and if we were going at least as fast as he was we would go over everything he did. That helped a lot! I not only went over all of the jumps on the course I started doubling some of the rollers. (That is when instead of pumping over two rollers you just jump from one to the other as if it were only one big one.) I ended the day on a good note and went for a spin and stretch to make sure I am not going to be too sore for training tomorrow. After dinner, I waxed, scraped and brushed my boards then had movie time with some of the team. It’s only 9 right now, how is that possible? It feels like it could be at least 11. Oh well, off to bed then.
