Training week of 11/3

EVERYONE:

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

  • We are on to the winter schedule! Check the program info to see when your program starts.

  • 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 can be found in older blogs.

JUNIORS:

  • Sunday, November 9, 11:00am: mandatory Jr/U14 info meeting! For skiers and at least one parent/caregiver. If you truly CANNOT make it, email us. Biathletes will practice after the meeting this week.

  • A note about the upstairs of the clubhouse: this is coach office space. You can always poke your head up to see if we’re there for a chat, but it’s not hangout or changing space for y’all. Which is a long-winded way of saying… somebody left their dirty socks and undies on the floor up there. Those have been relocated to downstairs.

  • Pop-Up Yard Sale: we still have a few junior and parent-sized skis to unload in lieu of the ski swap this year. Poke your head in the clubhouse before/after practice to scope it out. We also have old uniforms and jackets to move along.

  • “Team night” equipment purchasing: a link went out in Slack. Orders were due Nov. 1 but Anna won’t get around to ordering stuff until Tuesday so you have until then.

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

  • Looking ahead at some dates:

    • Sunday Nov. 9th: 11am team meeting

    • 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 looking forward to winter! See you in December.

BIATHLETES:

  • Bring every practice: gloves, poles and a dry change of clothes & warm layers to put on after skiing.

  • New Jr/U14s who signed up for winter biathlon are welcome to start coming on Sunday, November 9th.

  • Sunday November 9th, biathlon practice will be at 12pm AFTER the mandatory club meeting at 11am. Bring your parents to this practice- we’ll teach them how to shoot and do a fun relay together. Plan to have a snack/quick lunch during the meeting.

  • Winter race opportunities- read over for what we know so far. There’s a novice-friendly race on Jan 10!

  • 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:

  • Thanks for a great summer and fall! We’ll see you again on December 4th. Feel free to use Slack to self-organize workouts in the meantime.
