Great work at the rollerski sprint race on Saturday!

Please, please, please, see the October overview for ski flex testing and pole height measuring, we will start skiing this weekend ❗

CNSC Inter-club pre-swap starts Monday 24th goes to Thursday 27th Only race gear to be entered. All equipment should be clearly labeled with name of owner, asking price and for skis, who they are suitable for weight wise.

Frozen Thunder is now out. It is a difficult loop and is very challenging to maintain a good easy training pace on. I recommend only skiing 1 or 2 days per week on it and keeping any training on frozen thunder to under 1 hour. We have a long season, and there is no rush. With only a few sessions per week, it is NOT necessary to buy a frozen thunder pass. Just purchasing day tickets as needed will most likely be less expensive in the end.

Monday 24th: @ CNC
Today we will continue to work on our ski striding and fitness with special guest coaches Team R.A.D athletes Reed Godfrey and Sam Hendry. Make sure you have your striding poles, drink belt and dress in layers.

Tuesday Biathlon: 6:30-8:00
This week will be our fun halloween night!
If you have a fun costume, feel free to wear it. There will be some treats!
We will still be running (skiing next week -Nov 1st).
