Lost Fischer Ski Bag

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 7 February, 2018 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Jillian Doktor’s black Fischer ski bag was mistakenly taken by someone on Tuesday night from outside the Walker Building. It has multiple pairs of skis & poles and they are labelled with her name. Please check your ski bag and if you find you mistakenly took Jillian’s, please e-mail Jess Doktor at jessdoktor@gmail.com

Thank you!

BKL Practice Week of 2/05/18

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 4 February, 2018 in BKL Training Schedule

2 & 3 Day Programs

Tuesday: SKATE.

Penguins- Strap on you favorite stuffed animal and fart lek for the animals! (Bring your favorite stuffy!)

Biathletes will work with Coach Yves and Coach Peter to get ready for this weekend’s Nor Am Biathlon.

Everyone Else– We’ll work on race tactics and play some games.

Thursday: It’s the BKL Classic Mini-Marathon!

How far can you ski in 1 hour? Snow should be good and skiing should be great! This is always a fun practice for the kids!

Come early to get your skis waxed. We will not have time to take off klister on this day, so if you need help cleaning your classic skis, bring them on Tuesday and we can help you with them after practice (it’s going to be hardwax on Thursday).
Parents: Hydration & Snacks are important for the mini-marthaon. Bring a full water bottle for each of your kids and label with their name and also bring a snack to share. You can leave both on the table outside. We need a couple of parents to help monitor and organize the snacks and also to help the kids mark down their laps. If you can help, e-mail Rosemary at sheacobb19@gmail.com

3 Day Skiers & Racers:

Sunday: Woodstock Nordic Runners’ Sweethearts BK Race. For info: Sweetheart Race

The Range: Marines in the Walker Building again this week. Put boots on and leave gear in your cars if possible. Kids can use the bathrooms and warm up inside if needed, but let’s keep it to a minimum. Everyone did a great job with this last week- Thanks and keep it up!
