Hello LCs,
Daylight savings time has come to an end, but that won’t stop you all from getting in your quality training. But since the sun is going down at 5:15, that means we will be finishing in the dark from now until February! So dig out your headlamp, put in some fresh batteries, and bring it to EVERY training session.
If you have new skis this year, or have grown since last year, please bring in your classic race skis to be flex tested. Put a piece of tape on each CLEAN (scraped, brushed, kickwax free, and old lines removed) pair with your name and weight as this is essential for testing.
Training this week:
Tuesday(3) 4:30-6:15 Skate skiing on Frozen Thunder– speed(LC1)/ intensity(LC2+WinSport). Meet at the teamroom. We will have an option to end at 5:45 if you think you need the extra time to get to Radical Reels.
Wednesday(4) 4:30-6:30 Combo distance day: Skate ski on Frozen thunder followed by running.
Thursday(5) 4:30-6:30 Classic ski on Frozen thunder and Strength. Swix Universal is still the wax of choice out there.
