BKL Practice: Tuesday

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 3 January, 2018 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

The Walker Building is a busy place on BKL days!

Bundle up out there and where your crazy pants with Coach Kristina and Phoebe!

Ghost Busters is always a good game for warm-up!

All lined up to practice a Classic Mass Start!

BKL Practice Week of 1/1/2018

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 31 December, 2017 in BKL Training Schedule

2 & 3 Day Skiers:

Tuesday: Classic! Although not as cold as last week, it will be cold, so bundle up! Parents, we really need a Walker Building Monitor this day to help kids warm up inside- please sign-up on the Sign-up Genius in my last post.

If you have klister on your skis, be sure to take it off before practice! Here is a link to a great video by Boulder Nordic Sport: How to Clean Klister from your Kickzone

While the ski-specific product known as “fiberlene” is great, old rags work just fine too. Paper towels will do in a pinch, but the true champion of this process are the good old blue “shop towels” available at many hardware stores.

Kick wax: Wax the night before! Use Toko Green or X-treme Cold or Swix Special Green. Anything for about 10F should work. If you can, iron in your first layer as a binder and follow with 2-3 more layers corked in. We will have wax benches out as usual at practice if you can’t do it before hand or if it needs to be altered.

Thursday: Skate! Possibly Hot Chocolate if a Parent signs-up to help make it (Sign-up Genius Link)

3-Day Skiers & Racers:

Sunday, Jan. 7: Stowe Nordic Cross-Cut Classic Race: Stowe Mt. Resort Cross-Country Center, 2km for BKL, Race starts at 12 noon, arrive at 10:30. Register by 1/05/18 on Ski Reg.

Update 1/03: Race time has been delayed to 1:30 pm start. Arrive at noon and look for MNC wax tent.

E-mail Rosemary if going: sheacobb19@gmail.com.

Friday Foxes:

Right now my weather app is showing a high of -5 F for Friday which may be a little cold for the Foxes. Let’s watch the weather and wind-chill and I will re-post on Thursday night. Check back then!
