Amazing race this past weekend! WOW!

This week is week 4 of peaking and it is the last one so PLEASE pay attention to the schedule, we need you to recover so you can be read to rock this weekend!

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 2 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!​

The workouts we have on the schedule are not all team practices BUT if you want to be at your best for the ski season they are ALL super important!

We hope you had a magical holiday break and are ready to 'get the engine running' as the German coach at the World University Games told us!

​This week will be a tad in the air as we are trying to navigate the snow situation. For those who have not been in town there is beautiful skiing at Chimney Park but it is 40 minutes drive away. There has been no skiing at Happy Jack, which is 15 minutes from town. This means that we'll have to see what happens for Wednesday. We have put the time so that we can go out to Chimney Park if necessary. 

We also have changed our strength training to Tuesday/Thursday.

Last, but most exciting, we have our first official USCSA Rocky Mountain Conference Qualifier this weekend! YAY!!!!

What an incredible weekend of racing! Congrats to the Elite Team members who did a minimum of 3 races in 3 days and to our Iron Man Sean for getting 4 done in 3 days! Wow! 

Our performances were amazing and we are so proud of everyone!

This week is week 2 of peaking and it is recovery so PLEASE pay attention to the schedule, we need you to recover so you can be read to rock this weekend!

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 4 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!​

The workouts we have on the schedule are not all team practices BUT if you want to be at your best for the ski season they are ALL super important!
