Tuesday 2/19: Classic Mini-Marathon
How far can you ski in one hour? Get waxed up quickly and get out there because after a quick warm-up, we will all start together. We will use the 1,2 & 3 km loops and kids will keep track of their laps on our lap counting clipboards. After about a half hour, we will open up the snack table so kids get some refueling.
Wax: High of 16F, so you can wax at home the night before with a SWIX Blue or V30, or TOKO Red. An Oslo wax might also be great today if you have that. *If you can, iron in a binder or use a spray binder!!
We need: 1) PARENTS (2-3) to help kids mark down their laps and to monitor the snack table. Email Rosemary if you can help.
2) A Card Table (Email Rosemary if you can bring one)
3) SNACKS: Fruit, trail mix, crackers, cookies are all good. Everyone bring something.
4) WATERBOTTLES: This year, everyone should bring their own water. Leave labelled water bottles at the snack table or carry them if kids have a water bottle holder.
