SAC Carl Pointer - Training Diary - 09 July 2012

Warming up with a jog to Ruhpolding's 400m athletics track, we performed 5 x 600m with a 200m walk in between each effort...

The times for us to achieve 600m were as follows : -

Carlos Pointer = 1min 51 secs

Grant Wilson = 1min 59 secs

Carl Carrier(Coach) = 2mins 3 secs

Mathew Bailey = 2mins 5 secs

The aim is to improve our 3k times by 10 % : -

                            

	3k Time (Before)	3k Target Time ( 10% faster)
Carl	10mins 17secs	9mins 15secs
Grant	11mins	9mins 54secs
Coach	11mins 22secs	10mins 14secs
Mat	11mins 34secs	10mins 25secs

Later in the day we went for a classic ski focusing on being more efficient with our double poling technique, saving valuable energy to climb the hills. Which brings me nicely on to 2-phasing. The Coach skied behind us observing and giving us little hints on how to further improve our skills especially on the steeper sections :)
After zeroing our rifles we had a little practise on metal targets, for our shooting tests tomorrow! We are having a petty bet, who can hit the most targets. Exciting? (€2 each, not exactly breaking the bank lol)
Anyhoooser! Knocking down the targets we executed 10 x 1 shot drills in both the prone and standing position (we did this twice). Proceeding onto 2 x 5 shot drills both prone and stand, which we also completed 2 times.
We'll see if our track work has paid off! 13th Aug is the next 3k time trial...Stay tuned! :D
