Training week of 10/27

EVERYONE:

  • The training plan is here and below. Please fill out the attendance form.

  • Rollerloop safety: same old thing. It’s leafy and wet most days. Check it before use.

  • Club uniforms and jackets: our new uniforms are gonna look like this! “Old” uniforms and jackets are on sale in the clubhouse. If you’re interested, ask coaches for more info before/after practices or at your rental fitting or just whenever you’re kicking around. Price list at the bottom of this blog.

JUNIORS:

  • We start the winter schedule Sunday, November 2nd. Whoooaaaaa. That means that we’ll have practice options 5 days/week after that.

  • Pop-Up Yard Sale: we have a small number of junior and parent-sized skis to unload in lieu of the ski swap this year. This will be ongoing, so poke your head in the clubhouse before/after practice to scope it out.

  • “Team night” equipment purchasing: a link went out in Slack. Orders are due Nov. 1.

  • Licensing: check out our distillation of license needs here. Read past blogs for more detail.

  • Looking ahead at some dates:

    • Sunday Nov. 2nd is when we officially start the fall schedule.

    • A reminder about dates looking ahead: toggle to the “25-26 year” tab at the bottom of the training plan to get a better sense of what’s ahead this winter.

BKL:

  • We are done with BKL for the fall! See you in December.

BIATHLETES:

  • Winter race opportunities- read over for what we know so far.

  • U17+ planning to race Junior Nationals in Lake Placid in December, add your name here. Still not sure? Chat with coaching staff.

  • During the month of November only, we will structure JR/U14 training a little differently:

    • Sundays and Wednesdays are practices for the full group.

    • Tuesdays we will reserve for 1-on-1 shooting sessions. Anyone who is a U17 or U19 planning to race at Junior Nationals can sign up for a 1-on-1 shooting session here.

    • December goes back to normal with the group split between Tuesday and Wednesday.

ADULTS/MASTERS:

  • Last week of fall practices! Then we’ll see you again on December 4th. Feel free to use Slack to self-organize workouts in the meantime. Note that you have some options on Sunday.

Here’s the TRAINING PLAN for the week, or check below:

Some of our juniors/U14s awaiting the award ceremony after last week’s VT Youth Cycling race (which they crushed!!).

Past-year uniform and jacket price list. Note that "new" on that list means the same Podiumwear products that we've had, but still fresh and unworn, rather than used for a season or more. Discounted stuff likely has a small tear, etc.
