Hopefully all speed skating and biathlon events went well over the weekend?!

This week is the final week of formal practices before the Christmas break.

Monday 14th: 5 – 6:30pm
It’s time to sharpen up our skating with a bit of agility and speed work. Head lamps and drink belts essential.

Wednesday 16th: 4:45 – 6:30pm
Christmas classic! Today will be our Christmas party and dress up ski, please take note of the earlier start time! The session will involve a circuit of classic skills and giving of the Secret Santa gifts afterwards – see email for details. Head lamp & costume essential Wax recommendation: Rode Multigrade kick wax should work a treat.

Saturday 19th: 10 – 12noon
Skate sprints on Whale Tail (hopefully). Meet at the team room at 10am with your drink belt and multiple layers of clothes so you can keep warm between heats. You can bring your race skis and poles and treat this like a race. You may not know the course but you can still make some notes in your training diary about technique things you want to focus on during the sprints.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Club Holiday Relays on Monday 28th if you’re going to be in town!! See global post on Forum for more details.
