Note

Question:

Does anyone know if there's any place that keeps track of WHICH targets a biathlete hit each time they went through shooting?

I'm curious about the success rate of hitting the last target versus the others. Its got to be much lower. Is the success rate higher if they've already missed one versus shooting clean?

It may be the only way to collect the data is just to watch the race again and do it with pen and paper.

Running 25:00 [1] 4.5 km (5:33 / km)

I ran for 25 minutes! Without stopping! And it was pretty okay! I'm not sure if it was just in my head, but there felt a little twinge at the end because its a steep uphill.

A very positive sign. I will still avoid running for a while longer. But, very positive. I should really focus on the strengthening exercises for the next period.

Nordic (skating) 1:00:00 [1] 11.84 km (5:04 / km)

Just a short one, with some legs only.

Nordic (classic) 1:20:00 [1] 15.24 km (5:15 / km)

Racefox frequency intervals. 14 x 1 minute with 65 strokes per minute. It claims I only did 60. But I disagree.

Nordic (classic) 3:00:00 [1] 36.38 km (4:57 / km)

Here's a tip! Phones stink at measuring distance.

Garmin: 36k
Motorola Moto G: 42k.

Not even close.

Nordic (classic) 1:25:00 [1] 17.85 km (4:46 / km)

14 x 1 minute double-poling with 11.4 attack. Apparently I managed to achieve 11.4 attack 61% of the time, which is a small improvement, I think? Its near impossible to make the app happy when I'm going uphill or downhill.

It always gives me the same guidance:

"You are sitting too much. Try to ski with higher hip and more pressure on your forefoot."

I'm not entirely sure what this means. I know that current ski technique for double-poling involves getting high up on your toes. But, if I were, say, doing Marcialonga, I just can't see myself doing that for 50k. Its a bit of an adjustment. I would never do that technique for a regular easy ski. Heck, I probably wouldn't do it in a 15k...?
