Description: From TriRudy

http://trirudy.com/region/OE/list/index.cfm?listing=2416#6

The LifeSki Academy is running an early-fall dryland camp for young cross country skiers to assess and improve their movement technique in regular fall activities such as running, core strength, plyometrics, ski striding-bouncing, pre and post-training stretching, and roller skiing. The camp run by an international coach will prove necessity of an instant coaching feedback and an individual approach to each student during a workout. The structure of 4-day camp respects all physiological and sport training patterns.
Young athletes will experience group practices with mates from other local clubs. They will interact with new activities including team games, exercises, and drills.
The camp will be held in Gatineau Park, Aug 26 – 29. For further details, registration, and contact visit www.lifeski.com or call 819 – 772 4833.

a great way to get a hard loop in before work (most of the riders are triathlon guys)

Format
1. Social pace to the underpass and then sprint to Penguin picnic field
2. Timed hard climb up Fortune (P10 to summit which is where road first stops going uphill beside the lake)
3. Hard Paceline from right turn at T junction to Champlain ending at a sprint at Champlain
4. sprint at Bourgois Lake sign
5. sprint to yellow sign at top of Blacks Lake
6. sprint to end of rock outcrop past Mackenzie king estate
7. sprint to Pinks Lake parking lot sign
8. paceline past Hickory trial to “stage finish” at Tache Rd Sign

There is a regrouping after each sprint. The lead up to each sprint starts at the bottom of the hill and ends at the aforementioned landmarks (basically one uphills).

Riders asked to hold a straight line, not do anything stupid and only go HARD in the authorized speed/sprint zones mentioned above.
