Thanksgiving and Beyond




The ski team wishes to extend a Thanksgiving greetings to everyone. We hope you enjoy time with family and friends.

A reminder that there is a clinic being offered at Trollhaugen this weekend for anyone who is around town. You can go for one day or two. An earlier post has more information.

After two weeks of practice, it is important to keep up your fitness training. We are asking that skiers get three workouts in over the break. Two should be hour long runs with at heart-rate of about 135. (If you sing the ABC song and get about three or four letters out between breaths you are at the target heart rate.) The third work out should involve getting your heart rate up to 180-190 for an interval of time and then dropping back down. Our hill work, stair work and track workouts did this.

Be creative and flexible with your workouts. However, shopping does not a work out make.

Our first meet will be the Tuesday following break. I looks certain that we will be going to Trollhaugen. The bus will leave after school and return after the meet. A very rough return time to school will be about 9pm. Do a good job with homework Monday night.

Enjoy your break and think snow!
