Hello Team,
2 weeks of skiing under our skis already! We will pull back slightly this week after a solid push over the past 2 weeks on frozen thunder, but still continue to take advantage of it. The rain has been rough on the snow, so keep an eye out for updates.
Clothing order deadline for the newly designed jacket and race suit is Thursday, November 6. See the email from Megan with full details, but here are quick links: Jakroo Craft
Headlamp Season is upon us. You need a working headlamp at evening sessions basically until February. It is DARK on frozen thunder and skiing at 40KM/HR without being able to see is very dangerous for you and other skiers. If you do not have a headlamp, you will need to stay under the lights and not be able to train with the team.
Training this week:
Monday(3)
Grotto/Rundle/Cascade
4:45-6:15 Skate Ski. Warm up OYO, meet at the groomer at 5. We will kick off the intensity early to take advantage of as much day light as possible. Smooth, steady Z5 tonight.
Tuesday(4)
Cascade
5:00-6:00 Strength
Wednesday(5)
Grotto/Rundle/Cascade
4:45-6:45 Skate technique and sprints. Warm up OYO and meet at the groomer at 5.
Thursday(6)
Rundle/Cascade
4:45-6:45 Agility on foot and strength in the gym. U18 gym first, U16 outside first.
Saturday(8)
Grotto/Rundle/Cascade
9:00-12:00 Long classic ski on Moraine Lake Road- confirmed. Biathlon trials are happening on Saturday, so Frozen Thunder will be closed for that event.
Be sure to clean all your klister off. Wax with rode Multigrade, but pack rode violet in your drink belt and two bars during the ski. Big goal today is as much steady, consistent skiing as possible.
