Hi CSC squad! This week:

EVERYONE:

1. Attendance form: yep, still a thing

2. Training plan: here and in the same place in googleland

3. Team shirts: if you ordered one, it’s labeled and waiting for you in the clubhouse. If you didn’t but you want one, let Anna know as there are a couple extras.

EC RACE + HS COMP:

1. It’s an easy week: if you’ve been following the training plan, the focus this week is on recovery and feeling good! If you haven’t been following it… just keep on trainin’!

2. Morning practices @ 8:30 all week again: because we’re going to keep training with the college crew while we can

3. No practices this weekend; weird weekend the following one: there will not be organized training for juniors on the weekend of 8/5-8/6. On the weekend of 8/12-8/13, practice will be moved to Saturday instead of Sunday.

4. Paying for Hosmer overnight and Whites mini-camp: you can pay online here.

5. Lake Placid Training camp: yep, we’ll start working on the details for this. Here is LAST YEAR’S info packet for reference only. This year will be pretty similar. We can accommodate about 17-18 athletes. TBD whether or not we bring bikes this year. People we are expecting so far this year based on expressed interest to this point are: Emily Linton, Isabel Linton, Sage Grossi, Meg Voisin, Amelia Circosta, Anika Leahy, Tillie Lange, Marie Voisin, Sisu Lange, Sara McGill, Leila Griffith, Kate Mackenzie, Clare Pritchard, Max Demaine, Sam Brondyke, Ruth Krebs, Luke Murphy, Anya Moriarty (maybe) —> If you’re not on this list but want to go, or are a “?” please reach out to coaches via email or Slack ASAP! If too many people want to go for the amount of housing we have, we will give priority to athletes who are older, stated their interest early, and have shown most commitment to training this summer.

6. Senior Nationals: there have been some questions about this. This year senior nationals are in Soldier Hollow, UT, from January 2-7, with junior qualifying races Jan 2-5. We typically take only a handful of juniors—specifically those who are trying to qualify for the U18 Scandinavian Cup trip or Junior World Championships, are those who are trying to get a year of experience with an eye to that in the future. Occasionally we bring as many as 5-6 juniors if people are super stoked. We’re sorting through some options right now. The trip will be about $2000/person and scholarship aid is limited for this one. If you are really excited about the idea of going, reach out to coaches. If you have not yet completed a full Eastern Cup season, this is not a trip for you.

U14:

1. Morning practices @ 9:00am this week: sorry for the whiplash on practice times…

2. No practices this weekend; weird weekend the following one: there will not be organized training for juniors/U14s on the weekend of 8/5-8/6. On the weekend of 8/12-8/13, practice will be moved to Saturday instead of Sunday.

BKL:

No special directions for BKL this week!
