Training this week

Great job everyone on the first Tim Horton race of the season. Thanks to all the volunteers, parents, athletes and coaches for all the work to make the event a great success. Thank you to our sponsor Tim Horton for the great support.

We will now meet at the wax room for the rest of the ski season. You can now switch your roller ski tips and put your baskets back on your skate poles and take your poles back in the Blue Squad locker. Also, make sure to take your ski boots from the roller ski container as we will not roller ski again this fall. Finally, if you have a locker in the ski chalet, now is a good time to renew it with the ski base.

- If you want to order a ski team suit or a jacket, do it now as the site will close on Tuesday night.

As the temperatures will be much colder this week, make sure you have appropriate clothing (gloves, hat, jacket etc.)

Training for this week

Monday at 4: long slow run on the single track trails

Tuesday at 4: running and plyometrics

Thursday at 4: running and intensity on wood chips

Saturday at 11: TBD based on weather

Make sure to have your rock skis ready this week in case we get snow.

Rep Squad message:

Volunteer tasks have definitely begun – from organizing the Halloween events yesterday, to trail work, to coaching, to building, to food buying etc etc.
On behalf of the Squad Rep Committee, we would like to THANK YOU, parents, for the time you are contributing. It is truly appreciated and needed.  

We are also aware that there were / have been rumblings about the volunteer commitment requests this year and would like to take this time to remind you that we do want feedback.  Please reach out to your squad rep. Last thing: Remember to let your squad rep know when you have completed a volunteer task so that it can be recorded.
