Hi Comp-Devo Families,
Attached you will find next week’s schedule. As a reminder there will be no practice on Tuesday of this week as we are taking advantage of the day off of school tomorrow and training a little earlier in the day (See previous schedule). As usual Wednesday will also be on your own and then Thursday will be the typical run/strength/game at Fort Boise at 3:45.
For Friday you have the option of putting some wax on your skis at my house from 3:30-5:30. This is by no means critical though and you are either welcome to wax on your own or not worry about having your skis waxed for the weekend (they will still be pretty good). If you are waxing on your own, feel free to call for a “wax recommendation” but at the minimum be sure to have your names on your skis, glide wax scraped, your kick zones clearly marked and your kick zone either completely clean or with a thin layer of binder. If you are waxing with me, we will get your classic skis all set up and could probably do a little “routine maintenance” waxing on your skate skis as well if there’s time. I live at 3322 Crane Creek Rd, just off of Bogus Basin Rd and you don’t need to arrive right at 3:30 but please try to get there before 5:00 at the latest.. Also on Friday I’m recommending a short 30 minute run on your own as its the day before a race but this will not be an organized event from my house.
For the weekend you have two options:
Day Trip to Sun Valley- Depart the Bogus offices at 6:30AM Saturday, arrive at Prairie creek around 9:30AM and race starts at 11AM. Its an interval start 3k or 7.5k classic race and we can discuss on the drive up which race is appropriate for you. After your race you can grab a bite to eat from the lunch you pack take a breather and then go back out and ski for another hour or so before driving back to Boise around 3PM and arriving around 6:00PM. If you’re not interested in racing this trip could be a good way to get some snow time in too. Be sure to bring classic race and warm up skis, skate skis for the afternoon, warm ups and warm coat for outside (there’s no lodge), lunch and snacks (nothing to be purchased on site), a dry change of clothes, money for snacks on the road and $35 (cash or check to BBNT) to cover your race entry fee and vans.
Overnight Trip to Sun Valley- Depart the Bogus offices at 6:30 AM Saturday, arrive at Prairie creek around 9:30AM and race starts at 11AM. Its an interval start 3k or 7.5k classic race and we can discuss on the drive up which race is appropriate for you. If you’re not interested in racing this trip could be a good way to get some snow time in though too. After the race, we might go back to Ketchum before skiing again or we might just eat a snack in the van and then head back out skiing. SVSEF has generously allowed us to stay in their Lake Creek Hut for the night but the accommodations are minimal to say the least (there are bathrooms but I doubt showers). You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pad. We will eat in Ketchum for Dinner on Saturday and Breakfast/Lunch on Sunday but you will be on your own for paying and what not. On Sunday we will ski in the morning from around 10-noon and then I expect to arrive back in Boise around 4:30PM. Be sure to bring classic race and warm up skis, skate skis, lunch and snacks for Saturday (nothing to be purchased on site), a dry change of clothes, money for all your food, sleeping bag and pad and $45 (cash or check to BBNT) to cover your race entry fee, trail pass and vans.
I’m not worried about running out of space for either the day trip or the overnight but we are limited by the ~13 seats in the two vans. If there are space issues, priority for both trips will be given to older athletes fist.
You most likely already know this but the clinic we were hosting this Sunday (1/8) has been postponed but the date is TBA.
