The Wednesday night workouts officially began last week on the 17th. We had a great turnout of 10 skiers.
We did our best to shake out the cobwebs and pick up where we left off
last year. There were mostly skate ski drills and a brief sprint relay
to get the heart pumping! The coaches are happy to report that everyone
is skiing much better than when we began last year. I guess some of the
valuable information was retained over the summer! Last night was our
second session. Despite the bitter cold we had 14 skiers out!
We split the group between classic and skating. We worked more on using
our arms and powerful core muscles. After a brief warming break we had
exciting sprint double pole races. Who won wasn’t as important as the
good times we had (Karl won and Andrew was second – proving that
despite their lack of cardiovascular fitness they can still move
quickly over short distances. Dave W. was a distant third). Thanks to
everyone who has been coming out. The unbridled enthusiasm shown by
every skier makes it worthwhile! Remember any club member is welcome at
any session. See you out there! CLICK READ MORE FOR PICTURES
