Nothing but green grass and sunshine!
The Comp Team has a few new members this summer! Spencer and Jeff have been getting in some early season rollerski workouts so they can join the crew in June. Spencer is moving up from the Devo Team and Jeff is new to cross country skiing and eager to learn! He has taken on the ultimate challenge of learning to rollerski without ever snow skiing! Grab your bike for these fun races headed to Soldier Hollow (and other local venues). May 28th will be at Soldier Hollow and have a biathlon component. Adult races at 6:30. Kids at 5:30. Come on out for this fun event!
http://weeklyraceseries.com/schedule Summer is almost here and we are getting ready for training. Yesterday many of the new Comp Team members met to get equipment ready to roll! Our first official practice is June 3 but we are throwing in a few bonus workouts now.
In other news, USSA has decided to change the name of age groups in ski racing. So, from now on we are going to do away with the J3, J2, etc nomenclature and adopt the U system. So, J3 age skiers are now U14, J2 would be U16, etc. Note that the YOB still determines your "skiing age" not the age you are on that day. Stay tuned as the summer season gets underway! The sun is shining the snow is melting and it is time to start cross training! Now is the time to dust off the bike, break in a new pair of running shoes, and visit the gym.
