2 & 3 Day Programs:
It’s Skiathlon Week for BKL! The MNC Skiathlon is on Sunday, March 11 and we are all going to practice for it this week. A Skiathlon is a race where you ski one loop classic, change skis, then ski one loop skate. Distances are adjusted for the different BKL age groups. Bring both sets of skis on Tuesday & Thursday. A few more things:
- Register for the Skiathlon & get info here: SKIREG Proceeds from this race benefit the MNC Scholarship Fund.
- Please check the website before you leave on Tuesday, in case we need to cancel due to not enough snow at the Range to ski on. Snow is forecasted for Wednesday- Skiing should be better for us on Thursday.
TUESDAY: CLASSIC & SKATE. We will all practice transitions for the duathlon, so bring both skate and classic gear. We won’t wax for classic today, we will primarily skate and just double pole on our classic skis to practice our transitions.
THURSDAY: CLASSIC & SKATE. More duathlon practice (we all need practice getting our equipment on and off anyways!). We will try to classic on hardwax today and anyone racing on Sunday can stop a little early so that you can clean your skis.
