Today we were roller skiing in practice and it was my first time on classic roller skis. I don't like them too much, they're way friggin harder to ski on than regular skis. They're harder because when you ski classic your skis are in tracks and you don't really need to control their direction. With roller skis you do have to control their direction and I'm not used to this so I almost crashed a couple of times. I am finding it hard to train effectively on roller skis because instead of focusing on going hard I have to focus on not killing myself. So for todays practice we worked on body position when polling, and had a little relay race that was pretty fun.
