It’s Winter in Argentina

JUMP STARTING THE SKI SEASON

While most of us have been enjoying the summer weather a few Vermonters headed to the southern hemisphere for some skiing in Argentina. Camilla skied with MNC and Craftsbury last winter while staying with the Massey-Bierman’s. This summer she and her family invited the Massey-Biermans to spend some time in Argentina where it currently is winter. Reports of excellent skiing and wonderful people have been coming in.

Sisters Marika and Quincy set up for quick turn during a race

Quincy skiing hard….as always!

The girls tear it up during the classic portion of the pursuit race.

Notice Camila’s excellent classic form!

MNC SPRING PICS

MNC coaches and volunteers helped organize the Flynn School Exchange Zone for the Vermont City Marathon and talked to young athletes at the Yam Scram about Nordic skiing and MNC.

Ken Bruce lead a small group on a hike up “The Chin” of Mt Mansfield. It was a beautiful sunny day with spectacular views from the Sunset Ridge Trail. There is also an active Raven’s nest on the cliff face next to Cantilever Rock.

Period 2 Training Plan

By Adam Terko on 9 May, 2014 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

I will be in Italy from May 12-23, hence no organized training in that time. Once I return, we will begin training 3x/week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Workouts in red indicate organized team sessions that I will lead.

NOTE: This plan includes some MTB races at Catamount as weekly hard workout. Also note in early June there are 2 running races: the Colchester Causeway 5km or 15km on 6/7 (details online via link from our google calendar) as well as a Tuesday night running race at Catamount on 6/10.
