Hello U16/U18,

The last week of summer training has arrived! With school starting next week, be sure to make the most of your long days out of the classroom to get in a solid week of training. Building endurance over the summer months is a key for success as an endurance athlete.  As with previous years, we will not have team training the first week of school (Aug 29-Sep 4) and no team training on Labour Day (Sep 5). Fall team training will resume Sep 6.  Typical fall team training will be:

The construction in the biathlon area will continue for many months. This week they will be knocking down the timing building, so lots more traffic and heavy equipment. Use caution in the parking lot and respect the closures.
