Juniors: Training 12/17 – 12/23

By Adam Terko on 17 December, 2012 in Junior Blog

First off, awesome job to everyone at the Eastern Cups. These are some of the most competitive races in the country – and surely have the most depth aside from National Championships. If you kicked butt — great; if you feel like you were too far down the results just keep it in perspective: former Olympians, NCAA Champions, Junior National Champs and more.

This is a recovery week! Note the shorter training sessions on Tuesday/Thursday. Sunday location is TBD.

Tuesday, 4:00 – 5:30pm at the Range. Easy skate ski and games (bring running attire).
Thursday, 4:00 – 5:45pm at the Range. Classic ski with fartlek intervals and specific strength (bring running attire).
Sunday, 9:00 – 11:00am at TBD. Skiing with long, moderate intensity.

MNC fund raising effort to purchase generator

By Adam Terko on 14 December, 2012 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

The club is seeking donations to help purchase a portable generator that can be used at the wax tent for BK, Junior and Masters events. The Honda generator is capable of running wax irons allowing us to help athletes with both glide and kick waxing at important events. Parent volunteer Don Harmeyer checked out the options and selected the Honda EU200i. He has also contacted a local business that will match the best price available (approx. $1000.00) If you would like to donate please send a check to MNC C/O Rick Costanza 24 White Pine Rd, Fairfax, VT 05454. Thanks!

Masters this week. Dryland training at the range (unless we get enough snow to ski). The snowmaking crew already has some piles of snow and will be continuing their efforts to get a trail open as soon as possible.

For the weekend there is a Masters division at the Eastern Cup on Sunday at Craftsbury. This will be a 15 km mass start skate race. You must register online. Info is posted at http://craftsbury.com/skiing/events.htm

If you have ordered an MNC race suit – Rick will have them on T – TH night at the range.
