One push start

I've decided to begin my hour record attempt with a one push start. I'm planning a pump only attempt, so it should be as much pumping as possible. In cyber slalom starting with three pushes is common. So only one push and the longer board demands timing and effort. Need some more practice for a fast and fluent start.

Preparation continues

It‘s less than six weeks until I want to do my first pump only hour record attempt. That‘s no time in endurance sports. Still I what to do a little bit of preparation, that makes sense. Therefore I stopped experimenting with gear. It takes to much time. Time I need to ride. I will ride the Fullbag Fôboo with Surfrodz TKP front and Seismic G5 rear at the hour attempt. For the next weeks the plan is to do pumping sessions about twice a week. Last week I did a 30 minutes ride on a windy day and a 40 minutes one on a evening with hardly any wind. This week I want to proceed to 50 minutes. And after this I what to go for the hour.

Besides this I‘ve been cycling a few times and will try to do so at least once a week. You might asked, why cycling when you what to skate long distances? I choose cycling, as for me it is the best way of endurance training. I hate running and skating really long sessions stresses me feet and legs pretty much. On the other hand skating doesn‘t get the cardiovascular system going like cycling. So I ride my bike for this purpose. I did some 2 hour coffee rides and I really like spinning my legs at an easy pace. So the next weeks I will continue to ride my bike with low intensity. In the last three weeks before my hour record attempt I might shift to higher intensity intervals, both on bike and board.
