We next spotlight Nordic state champion senior Annabelle Brooks of Cheverus.  She won the 2023 Class A Classical, Freestyle, and Pursuit titles. She had the fastest pursuit time of all classes.  We asked her about her successes and her preparations.

 

What were your preparations leading up to the state meet?

 I did a series of peaking interval workouts in the weeks before states, and really focused on my nutrition, sleep, and hydration goals. I also traveled to Quarry Road, Bethel, and Jackson, NH, for some races and longer workouts to get primed. Finally, I’ve become quite fond of yoga thanks to CoachAnnabelle George! It has really helped me improve my flexibility and balance.

 How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet?

 Funny enough, I actually get a lot more nervous before big running events than I do for skiing. I think the thrill of skiing and the overall sense of excitement I get from being out in the snow helps suppress any nerves.

 What was going through your mind at the start?

 I thought about how I had put in the work and logged the hours of training necessary to have a great result. I also visualized different parts of the course and how I wanted to ski them.

 What do you contribute your success to?
