Southeast Boise Speeds – IN Training
Instead going to Bogus and slogging through knee deep powder(getting tired and feeling slow) we are going to hold training in town tonight. This will be a short workout to get some speed heading into the BMT!
We will start at 5:45pm – ski a short warm-up, do some 15 to 45 second speeds and warm-down.
Rock skis advised.
Location: North Entrance to Simplot Soccer Complex, Columbia Village on Lake Forest Drive.
BMT Waxing Advice
Swix is going to start testing on Thursday once the Groomers have finished and we can get an idea of the moisture content on the groomed trail. Right now we are forecasting the trail to be dry, cold, wind-blown and soft. We are advising people to start sinking CH4 or LF4 into their race skis to harden up the base. Apply CH4/LF4 at 150C, running the iron tip to tail 3 times. Let cool for 15 minutes at room temperature and repeat the ironing/cooling cycle 3 times to insure good wax penetration. To help the skis take on the wax make sure they are at room temperature before starting the waxing cycle. Run your iron in a steady motion to avoid overheating the base. This wax will provide a good prep for the race wax, or if LF4 called out as the race wax, you only have to scrape and brush to be race ready. We will post the wax rec on idahonordic.com by Thursday evening.
This morning at 7am it was negative one at Galena and the beer at Grumpy’s was a perfect 36.
