X-C Skiing = the toughest aerobic sport - Adventism's Leading Forums

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

abelisle Seeker Registered: 2002-08-13 Posts: 1052 Loc: Bronx, NY, USA	Exercise physiologists will tell you that top X-C (Cross-country) skiers have the highest VO2 max uptakes of all aerobic athletes. Saw watch them at their finest when the X-C races are televised. Also watch the biathlon events (shooting + X-C skiing). Just imagine how hard it is after a hard racing effort to quiet your beating heart and hard breathing to shoot multiple targets. Each one you miss means more racing to be done as a penalty.

abelisle Seeker Registered: 2002-08-13 Posts: 1052 Loc: Bronx, NY, USA	Hope everyone is watching these events I mentioned. Did you see how small the targets are in the biathlon? And if any of you have experience racing, you know how fast your heart is beating and you have to steady yourself, shoot between breaths in different position. What a hard sport!

abelisle Seeker Registered: 2002-08-13 Posts: 1052 Loc: Bronx, NY, USA	The women's 10K X-C skiing race is on as I type this. What awesome athletes! What a total body aerobic workout. Watch how they push with their poles. And watch how they collapse at the finish from their 100% effort! Incidentally, their 10K times nearly match world-class 10K track times. Alex (my best was 36 min. - they're 10 minutes faster!) _________________________ We are our worst enemy - sad but true. http://abelisle.blogspot.com

abelisle Seeker Registered: 2002-08-13 Posts: 1052 Loc: Bronx, NY, USA	Are you as impressed as I am by the sheer power of the athletes in the 1.6 km sprints!! The intensity is so high and the time interval between heats is so short. In track, we have at least a day between heats. One girl collapsed and looks like she's out of it as I write this.

Gail Mom to lots of chickies Registered: 2002-12-09 Posts: 18743 Loc: Buon giorno, Principessa	The French Canadians are always so good at that, especially the Bi-athalon. They are passionate in everyday life- I can understand why they would excel in this sport. _________________________ Gail Most things that I hand over to God have my claw marks on them- Annie Lamott And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
