Our summer training has begun, with numbers quickly closing-in on the most we have ever seen! With our college training group, Junior athletes, and U14 rollerskiers, we are going to be reaching over 50 skiers and taking things to new record levels. This past week kicked-off our “traditional” summer program, with some Summer Olympic challenges. The group broke into teams and competed in everything from medicine ball shot-put to mountain biking to an gymnastics course.
It was a fun set of activities with times and scores that didn’t really count for anything…but just getting a big group together was a gold medal endeavor after making it through summer training last year! It is so great to be headed toward normalcy with programming and safe surroundings.
Everyone got a short rollerski in, and our new-to-rollerskiing group was already cruising about 10km only a couple days later. Thanks to our great familiar coaches like Perry, Sara, and Rick along with new summer coaches Kirsten and Craig from BHS! This summer is going to be a ton of fun.
