Please join the MNC Masters for an end of the season summer wax prep party on Saturday April 29, 2017. Hosted by Jen and Bill Supple at 103 Westall Drive, Richmond. Please RSVP at jssupple@gmail.com to help get a sense of who will be attending. Thanks!

There will be irons, benches, and electricity available but please feel free to bring your own bench and iron, scrapers, brushes and other tools you like to use, if you have them and can share. Please supply your own summer wax (yellow non-fluoro) or other of your choosing.

We will also be brainstorming summer activities and events for masters continued training and exercise. The coaches want to know what we are interested in pursuing! Let’s take advantage of their enthusiasm to keep us in shape over the summer!

Hope you can make it! We will assume great spring, sunny, driveway-gathering weather, but will take it into the garage if need be…

Masters 1k uphill run

By Adam Terko on 12 November, 2016 in Masters Blog

It was a dark and chilly night at the Range on Thursday, but calm skies and bright trailside lights meant the conditions were fast for the first official MNC Masters 1k Uphill Run Test (which needs a shorter name!).

We decided to measure fitness and speed with a tough course from the bottom of Badger Loop up to the red Range Flag near the parking lot. Look for the Strava segment soon: we’re thinking this will be a good test to repeat on snow as well as pavement! The gauntlet has been thrown down and we look forward to adding more course times and seeing improvements as the seasons progress.

A second running of the course…together!

Everyone tackled the course a second time afterward, because it turned out to be a pretty fun way to dig deep…plus, skiers always love embracing the challenge of an uphill!

Masters Southridge 6K TT

By Kort Longenbach on 16 October, 2016 in Masters Blog, Uncategorized

This Sunday saw the fourth running of the Southridge Time Trail with the largest group of skiers yet. Strong winds out of the South definitely challenged the skiers, but nonetheless strong performances and a fun time was had by all competitors. If you missed this round, don’t worry there will be a second running in November.

Overall, the course record still stands at 17:55 by Rick Schaaf with a full list of results on our google doc.

The course profile can be viewed on Strava.
