This is going to be a great race with a lot of good competition do not miss out on this opportunity to test your fitness. Race planning and glitter are going to be really important to make sure that we bring our kick ass to this race. If you are not yet comfortable on the hills in the Gatineau park do not sign up as you will be doing a hill training session, watching and learning from the athletes that are racing. Foundeur Laurentide for the race and staying for the week end to do a mini camp. We have the opportunity to race and train with them which is going to be awesome they have some great athletes and fun people. Many of the gang that we trained with at the August Tremblant Camp are going to be there so it will be a good time to train with some excellent people and deeper the friendships that we have already started. The exact training plan will be posted but there will be training Sunday morning and potentially a BBQ and Bon fire on Saturday night at Moe's house in Wakefield for both our team and Fondeur Laurentides. Sporte Etude For athletes interested in doing a modified Sport etude at Philemon Wright High School. It is possible to talk to your guidance councillor and do 2 days of training with sport etude. Hadley is doing a sport etude but it is only for grades 7 and 8. grade 9 to 11 athletes can still join sport etude but they will miss class a couple of times a week, it is a good way to get your training done during the day, be with a highly motivated group of athletes. I recommend Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:30-3:30pm Training will be at the Relais Plien Air The cost of this program will be $650 for the year If you are interested talk to Moe Skinouk Roller Ski Race On September 21st we will be participating in the Skinouk Roller ski race.
