Hello U16/U18,

Frozen Thunder is out, the temperature is dropping, and race season is just around the corner! Lots coming at you this week:

• Individual meetings are happening, check the team what’s app to be sure and sign up to chat with your coach.
• Flex testing- we are working through the U14s at the moment and will dive fully into the U16/U18s in early November.  If you would like a quick check to see about keeping a ski or putting it in the swap, we can do that this week.
• Ski Swap on Sunday!
• Sign up deadline for Sovereign is Tuesday(24th) due to house rental cancellation policies.  This is a great season opener for you all if you have put in a solid summer/fall of training. Link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vwrmsRLdEVd6bKR7Kn6qjWXRU-r4r_PTSWKdrZvNNQc/edit?usp=sharing
• Strides and Glides event on Thursday. This is a fun, low key race and great for everyone to come out and do (athletes and parents). You can do it as a team, so a manageable distance for everyone.  If you don’t race, it is a great social event to meet other parents/families. This year it is a fundraiser for our club as well as the World Cup Academy.  More info here: https://www.albertaworldcup.com/strides-glides-october-fundraiser/
• Starting November 6 we will be training in the dark every day after school. You have 2 weeks to get your head lamp sorted.  No head lamp= no training. This is for your safety and your teammates safety.

Training this week:

Monday(23)
Multi/Primo/TTS-Dev
Final STUR of the year!  The U14s will be joining the challenge today, so get ready to cheer on the next generation of racers in our club while you cool down.  The first starter for U16/U18 will be at 5:05.  Plan your warm up accordingly (at least 6 min of intensity to hit the line hot). Let your coach know if you will not be racing, but we will not change the start list times.
