Training week of 7/1

EVERYONE:

U14s atop Mt. Norris

  1. Attendance form: yep

  2. Lost Nation Rollerski race is Sunday, which makes for wonky practices for some groups. For more info, go here.

  3. Women's MTB clinics: coach Audrey’s next clinic for (adult) women is on Friday, 7/12. Mark your calendars!

JUNIORS:

  1. Back into a big ol week: note the longer session Weds this week, plus some On Your Own afternoon sessions for those of you training higher volumes.

  2. Rollerski race Sunday: info here. A bunch of you should race. A bunch of you do not yet have enough experience and should not. If you don’t know which group you fall into, talk to coaches.

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

  • 7/17-7/18 - overnight campout/training weekend based out of tents and an off-grid cabin on the lake, down the road from COC

  • sometime the week of 8/5 - day trip to the White Mountains for a big ol’ hike

  • 8/12-8/16 - Lake Placid training camp trip based out of a collection of rental houses in downtown LP.

    At some point we will take head counts for these excursions, but we’re just giving y’all a heads up for now. These trips have been super fun the past few years and we look forward to them all summer.

U14s:

  1. Lots of rollerskiing this week. Our aim is to keep getting you comfortable with this mode of training—it’s a great time to build those skills!

  2. Thurs practice moved to Fri to accommodate the 4th and stuff

  3. Rollerski race Sunday: is not suitable for most of you, but if there are a few of you who love skiing the outer loop and really wanna do it, talk to coaches.

BKL:

  1. Friday practice this week due to the 4th. Keep doing that attendance form (linked up top, and at the top of the training plan)

BIATHLETES:

  1. Thursday practices moved to Friday this week to accommodate the 4th.

  2. The Singletrack Shootout is a beginner friendly biathlon race coming up July 27. It's great for anyone in our ski programs. Bring family and friends who want to try out the sport!  Racers can choose to Run or MTB. Interested? Details on our website. Preregistration required. JRs/U14s who have been in our biathlon programs for a couple seasons can sign up for expert. BKLers should sign up in the novice category.

ADULTS/MASTERS:

  1. No Sunday practice because of coaching shortage due to Lost Nation Rollerski race! But you can come watch coaches race. OR if anyone really wants to, they can join the non-rollerskiing juniors/u14s for bounding intervals at 9:00. Just show up at the clubhouse to get rolled into that.
