Simley Nordic Winter Break Workout Record

The log below it to be completed and turned in by all Nordic Skiers.  Family plans and weather conditions make group practices impracticable during holiday breaks.  Each skier is, however, expected to work out individually or with others.  Ski Battle Creek, The Ravine, Lake Elmo, Lenannon Hills or other venues where we may hold meets.  Run, bike, ski, snowshoe, play tennis or participate in other vigorous activities that will build fitness, strength and balance.  (Shopping doesn't count :( )

We expect everyone to come back relaxed and fit.  Enjoy time with family and friends!  We will be putting a weekend trip together to Itasca around Jan 19.  Please keep an eye on the blog.

Meet Two is at Trollhaugen instead of Battle Creek.


We will leave shortly after school and return home about 9pm.  We'll have kids call from the bus as we approach school.  Here is my guess at start times.  Boys or girl skiers may go out first.


Boys Varsity - 6 pm (Mass start OR waves of 1 per school every minute) -  ~5km

Girls Varsity - 6:30 (Mass start OR waves of 1 per school every minute) -  ~5km

Boys JV - 7:00 Mass Start - ~2.5 km

Girls JV - 7:05 Mass Start - ~2.5 km

All skiers should have the following:





  • warm clothes appropriate for the weather to ski in with additional layers available for watching teammates race.






  • a healthy pre-race snack and meal after skiing.





  • homework for down times





  • proper mindset, for varsity skiers this is a full on race go, go, go.  JV skiers should ski fast and improve your fitness and skills.  New skiers relax there will be skiers from other teams just like you.  learn to get up hills, turn and have fun.

      First snow, Rugby and Angels


       
      Good week of  training.  After a day of hill running and another day of 400's on the track, our goal for Friday's practice was to have the students do some running and have big smiles.  We played a touch version of rugby called booger ball and ended practice with snow angels.








      More Snow on the way!
