Today was the first day of winter training on snow. Everyone had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. We started for morning mobility and core strength at 7.00am, it was Mats turn to take today’s session. At 9.00am we left for the track, Carl and Danny went of on their own so they could get back into snow mode. Myself, Mat and the Boss stayed with coach for some lessons, it felt like day one again! We didn't fall over as much as was expected and it didn’t take long for me and Matt to adjust. Coach took us around the track where met up with Carl and Danny. We all went around the course for around 1hr to try and get used to it, i think it is going to take a few day's. At lunch we had the famous tortellini which Mat made in probably the smallest kitchen in the whole of Austria, coach describe today’s tortellni as the worst he has ever had!
In the afternoon we got back on the track and coach told us to do two different loops, one without poles and one with. We had to keep changing between the two for 90 mins while he went around looking at how we are all getting on and taking the Boss around a few times. I took a little tumble which Carl witnessed. That was the end of day one on snow, and we already want to get back on it. We are all looking forward to try classic skiing tomorrow.
