January 26- February 1 Canadian Eastern Championships

January 26- February 1

Great racing to those who competed in the Muskoka Loppet today! With parents, brothers, sisters and masters we racked up 29 podium finishes, 17 being 1st places, 13 just missing a podium spot in 4th or 5th and everyone else coming under the top 20 mark. Way to go everyone! I will be collecting race sheets from those who raced today the next time I see you. Awesome waxing to those of you who prepared your own skis for today, just look at what you’re capable of!

A few of our skiers were caught off guard with our surprise training log check Saturday. Please make sure your training logs are up to date, and that you bring them to practice. For those with digital versions, please print a screen shot of your most recent updates to bring on team training weekends.

Huge congratulations to all those who participated in our first Wax & Win challenge!! You definitely earned that prize, and your skis looked great! More opportunities will come around soon for those who missed out.

This upcoming weekend the team will be heading to Eastern Championships. Be excited if you’re going! This race is one massive party on skis! Lots more details to come this week to coordinate everyone. Keep an eye on your inbox for more information.
