I skipped Yoga Today

The weather looked a bit iffy, but we headed out to Mississauga anyways to try and get in a skate before it rained. It did start to rain a bit as soon as we got there, it soon ended and dried up and Peter resumed practice, although we had more rain coming down intermittently.

I'm glad for the $1 bearings that I use for training on occasions like this. Given the number of rain skates last year that pretty much destroyed numerous sets of bearings, I will need to stock up on them this year.

We started off with echelons from the back, which was a bit more of a challenge given the wind and cold.

The bulk of the practice was three sets of 3k at about 80% with some intervals thrown in, although we didn't end up doing too much. I was with Morgan, Sarah, Leo and Jacky. Peter's suggestion that I not take pulls in order to be able to stay in for the entire drill worked out well for me given the wind and slippery conditions. I managed to stay in for all three sets.

After the second lap, Morgan pointed out just how much energy I was wasting by bobbing up and down. I tried to be conscious of that during the third lap, although Sarah pointed out I was taking too many strides in the straights.

I'm not sure that I actually ever did warm up during the practice. Altogether though, weather aside, I was glad that I got my workout in and felt pretty good about it.
