"Let's go for a long run in the morning!" It occurred to me at
7:30. We lined up for the gondola at 7:50. Do you live in Tsugaike? ? It's
a sense of distance that makes you think. Actually, I'm a resident of Hakunori
on the other side of the bridge. Well, probably the first gondola. Naturally,
there was no one at the top of the mountain where I landed. Only one person
went ahead while I was preparing to take a selfie. No problem. A 3km non-stop
run to the intermediate station. There is no need to speed it up. It's
okay to be slow, but the important thing is to be non-stop. I like it.
There was a time in the past when people would say, ``I can ski easily
because I'm a telemarker.'' That's not necessarily wrong, but I now know
it's not accurate. Even alpine skiing allows you to do long runs with ease.
As long as there is a collaboration that fits the tools and ideas. Ah,
now that I think about it, I remembered something as I was writing this.
I was talking about this the other day. "Ishikida-kun, you're in a
high position, aren't you? That's why you can do efficient edging with
a narrow front-to-back gap." "Hmm, maybe, but it might be completely
different. I've heard that you're in a high position before. I've been
told that, but it's only high because I'm pushing. Normally when you push,
you stretch your joints. You're stretching, so it's high. That's what it
is. However, it's not like I'm keeping the distance between the front and
back of my feet narrow.In the first place, even 1mm of the telemark position
isn't included as an essence.Even in lessons, I don't do it 100%.But...
If you look at me from the outside, it looks like I'm doing a telemark
turn. Well, you can see it. That's why I personally have no choice but
to say Ishikida way rather than a telemark turn. In the class, it's called
B-tele. On YouTube, it's telehiro. .Well, please watch this video.Really,
it's just skiing like this.To make the demonstration accurate, you have
to be in the air, so it's impossible to teach outside.So inside the building.
"I see, you're stretching..." "That's right. I'm not squatting,
I'm stretching." That's how I skied Tsugaike today. 1 run of Hannoki
course 3km. Next is the 1.2km Shirakaba course. And finally Champion course
for 1km. It was still before 9:00 when I got back. I'm grateful for this
kind of environment. February 14, 2024February 14, 2024
