BK Skiing

Tuesday 1/28 3:30 – 5:00 – Classic at the Range.  BK Racing – agility drills, no pole and kick-DP Technique plus some race pace intervals.

Thursday 1/30 3:30 – 5:00 – MNC MINI MARATHON

This Thursday 1/30/14 3:30-5:00 we are going to make our BK practice a FUN Mini-Marathon.

We will give each skier a bib# and do some group warmup skiing then have them ski a marked course with friends to see how many laps they can do.  Start as one big group at 4 PM and their last lap must be started by 4:45.  Coach Rosemary is arranging for a feed/water station and we are asking parents to contribute and help by contacting her at mailto:shearv@aol.com.  We will need Parents to help as Lap Counters and running the feed/water station. Items like cookies, animal crackers, fruit, treats are fine but let’s stay away from nuts just incase we have any allergy issues. Hot Cocoa inside at the end is fine too if a couple people want to take on the task.  Please coordinate with Rosemary.

PENGUINS are welcome to join in on the fun if they have a parent to ski with them. We do not have designated coaches for that group on Thursdays.

Coaches will be on skis encouraging the kids and keeping on eye on them as they ski around the course.  This is not a race but a chance to just ski/socialize a bit but also cover a lot of distance.  Any technique is fine and kids are welcome to take breaks whenever they like. I will bring kick wax just for kids that want to classic ski.

Here are some photos of yesterdays’s race in Crafstbury.  Thanks to all of you that helped and participated!  More pics to follow.

The MNC BK Duathlon has been rescheduled and relocated.

The race will be held at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center on Monday 1/20/14. This will ensure that we have adequate snow coverage and minimal conflict with other races. We hope that everyone will still be able to join us for this exciting event. Click on the link below for an updated race flyer. MNC coaches and Parent Volunteers will be there to help with kick waxing.  We will send out a wax recommendation on Saturday.

The UVM Fun Day scheduled for 1/20 has been canceled since there is no snow at Bolton.  We will work with the UVM Team to find a day later in the season to ski with our BK Team.  For now we wish them well in the upcoming NCAA Carnivals!!
