ARE YOUR READY TO ROCK!!! It's time for the home race!!!!

You main focus this week should be racing but there are several around the edges things that we will need help with so be sure to watch for information and jobs. If you are not racing/don't want to race this weekend be sure to let us know so we can get your help.

​​We have officially started our peaking program so things will change at times so pay attention and please don't start new activities. We only have 5 weeks until Nationals so it's time to start concentrating on staying/getting healthy, eating well, resting and focusing your energy where it is needed!

This peaking programs works extremely well if you

• If do the training properly and don't do too much (you'll get tired and not race to your potential).
• If you do the training properly and don't do too little (you'll get sick!)

Even if you are not qualifying for Nationals this will help you with the last couple of races and if you decide to do any other races!​

Dragon Slaying is going super well!

Awesome job on an extremely tough race! That should be the last super long race of the year, unless you choose to do something beasty at the end of the season!

This weekend we'll be doing something a little different, with the Elite Team headed to SOHO and anyone on the Comp team that would like going to the Leadville Loppet. Fun weekend for all!

Wow! What an amazing weekend of collegiate racing!

A total of 6 (8 if you count Trevor) podiums this weekend! Ella with the Double Win, Kat with a double 2nd, Matt 2nd & 3rd, 3rd & 2nd. We also saw top 5 finishes from Maddy & Nathan in the classic 5km. That wasn't all! EVERYONE finished the 21km freestyle, we had multiple people this the Nationals Qualifying Mark and several managed to qualify for Nationals.
