Training week of 7/22

EVERYONE:

Camel’s Hump, post-trail work. We moved lumber so fast, there was no time for a photo.

  1. Attendance form: yep, you can do it!

  2. Team shirts! We’re printing up some hi-vis team shirts—both t-shirts and tank tops are available. They’re $15. You can order yours here and try on many sizes in the clubhouse. Please order by the end of the day Wednesday, July 24th, in order for us to have a hope of getting them while it’s still summer.

JUNIORS:

  1. It’s an EASY WEEK, y’all! Ohmygosh you made it to the rest week. All that volume and werk only works if you let your body recover and absorb it. As such, we have two whole days off in a row and very low hours. Take an extra one if you need it.

  2. Testing this week! A good way to stay sharp in an otherwise easy week is to do some testing and then not much else. Strength combine and Andersonville TT coming at ya.

  3. Billing to come electronically for Big Hos overnight. Expected cost is ~$40.

  4. Learning ‘bout nutrition: this time for parents! On Sunday, 7/28, during practice (so, 9am), Craftsbury dietician Megan Chacosky is planning a talk for junior parents (and BKL/U14 parents, for that matter). Put it on your calendar.

  5. Additional summer dates for your planning—keeping these here for reference:

  • sometime the week of 8/5 - day trip to the White Mountains for a big ol’ hike. Which day we choose comes mostly down to weather + van availability.

  • 8/12-8/16 - Lake Placid training camp trip based out of a collection of rental houses in downtown LP. —> ABOUT THAT - if you think you want to go, put it on the attendance form. Kudos if you already did that last week; you don’t have to do it again. Cost is expected to be ~$350.
