From Eliza, missing poles...
I couldn't find my poles at the end of practice today. I'm pretty sure I left them in the locker room and I think someone might have picked them up by mistake. They are black and silver. I'd love to have them back in time for christmas camp! Please send me a message if you have them/know who might have them. 
Thanks, see you all monday! 
Joel, if you could also add something to the blog that would be awesome, thanks!

Happy Holidays!!

Don't forget to get out this weekend and do some 60 to 90 minute trail running with poles and of course core exercises, planks, crunches, supermans and pullups.
Though, there may be snow Friday morning. If we get enough get out and ski as much as you can. It only takes a couple inches to ski on a golf course or a mowed field.

If you left your poles in the school you better get them friday if the school is open. Don't leave them at School all break.

If you are attending the Holiday camp please be there a little before 10 am.
Make sure you bring the following :
Classic skis, boots, poles and straps
Skate skis boots, poles and straps
warm skiing clothes. 2 sets
2 pair of gloves
hat
Warm over-coat
running shoes
Sunglasses
Suncream
any food you need for a specific diet
Waterbottle and hip pack to carry it or camelback
I had more as I think of it...

Happy Holidays!

The roads are very slippery today, so practice is optional.
I'd rather have everyone stay home and be safe than risk slipping off the road trying to get to practice.

Today's practice is is a long distance day.
Walk/jog WITH POLES for 75 minutes with breaks every 15 minutes for calithenics, crunches, planks, pushups, pullups.

Do this on your own if the roads do not get better and you stay home.
See everyone Tuesday.

Bring skis Tuesday in case the snow accumulates and we can ski at Pineland.

Joel

BRING YOUR CLASSIC POLES!!!!
It's SNOWING!!!!!  :)
The good news is it is snowing, the bad news is we can not roller ski early today. Hopefully everyone sees this before heading out to Pineland. Sorry for the late notice.

See everyone at 10 this morning.

Rollerski practice will be 9 a.m. at Pineland Farms for anyone who has a pair.

Reminder there are only 3 weeks till the first race, January 4.
Please do as much long distance cardio training as you can on the off days.
It is very important to build your strength and cardio this month. The amount of practice days will not be enough to really improve your fitness without a couple extra days.

I was really impressed with the focus at practice the past couple weeks. Thank you!
That focus was lost last Tuesday.
I realize not everyone is on the team because nordic skiing is a passion. Some of you are here to have a fun winter with friends and maybe get some exercise at the same time. That is fine with me.

What I am not fine with is kids chatting and not paying attention to what we are doing for exercises
or kids distrurbing those athletes who are trying to focus.
The only real way you can be dropped from the team is attitude so let's get back to focusing on skiing and improving throughout the season.

I am looking forward to working with each of you over the season.
