Five days, four races, it’s all about preparations.

The first week of January trials week in Canmore is on. And to be as well prepared as possible the CVTC-team simulated their own trials week. Four races in five days, two distance races and two sprint races. The goal for the week was to get a preview of the real deal, learn how the athletes react to the races and get a week of really good race training.

So how did it go? After a skate sprint, a 15/30km pursuit race, a 10/15km freestyle race and a classic sprint the conclusion is: a lot of new knowledge for the athletes. The opportunity to in advance get a feeling of what the week will be like is really good. And also to get done some good speed training.

Next up is a block with easy training and getting ready for sub-max and VO2-max testing in the beginning of next week.
