SAC Luke Tyler - Training Diary 10 January 2012

It was the 4 x 10k relay today the team was Danny and I were to Classic, Mat and Coach had the skating legs.  Carl had a classic leg in a mixed team with 1 LSR.  Morning mobility today was individual so we did it in our own time, then at 7am we left for Les Contamines course and start waxing our skis and doing warm ups.  At 9am the race set off with Danny staring the 1^st classic leg for our team.  He had a good strong leg and came in tagging me for my leg in third place.  It was my turn and I felt I did well gave it a good effort and managed to move us up a place to tag Mat who started his skate leg.  He did well to maintain 2^nd place behind 1 LSRs’ first team, where he was racing against people who have been doing this sport longer than him.  We were still in second place for when Mat tagged coach for the final leg and it was no problem for him to keep our position for the finish.  Carl and his team had a good race coming in 4^th with Carl having a strong race breathing down my neck all the way round.

This evening it will be cleaning and preparing skis for tomorrow’s event which will be a 10k sprint.
