Hello LCs,
One exciting thing about xc ski training is that we are outside in the elements and things are constantly changing. We coaches do our best to organize fun and entertaining training sessions, but sometimes we need to alter plans to ensure everyone stays safe. Starting this week and for the rest of the year, always bring your running shoes to every training session just in case we need to make a last minute change to the training plan due to changes in weather, wildlife, trail conditions, cold weather, etc.
Don’t forget the iLog challenge for August. We will be going through all your iLogs (as always) and if you have every day filled out for August you will be entered into the monthly drawing. This month GIANT Toblerone.
