New aerobic week has started......

After last week with more than 350km of cycling, this week doesn't seem to be any different so far.
When I think about it, today I had one of my best cycling training in quite some time...72km at 33km/h avg speed....Now that is a very nice number for someone who is a speedskater and using mountain bikes :)
We cycled half way to Moscow and returned, it can be seen on this map :

So far we cycled this week 306km by now, and there are still 4 days to training left.....We also did some uphill training of cycling, and I think it does great job in making me much much stronger.

Weekly cycling numbers :
18/7 - morning 66km \ evening 55km (Uphill training)
19/7 - skating 25km + dryland/gym work

20/7 - morning 72km \ evening 113km

My legs had certainly been upgraded

During this week I also had a great opportunity to watch the USA indoor championship....which always made me ask my self....How come our great sport doesn't go to every country like that...I see those young kids sprinting, and I wonder what could of happen if I would had the same terms to start like them on young age, I am really jealous of his young kids doing this at their age.

In one of the days, a team mate had a birthday so we enjoyed a good cake and tea at the coach room...I think this is the only full photo I got with most of my team members....

In one of our resting day, we went to a local lake at night and took some nice effect photos....Here is 1 example, I think the idea was nice...The night has it's own magic on photos.

I know it's not about speedskating....But I have to show I also live a little beside training & sleeping :)
