Mora Race

Check e-mails for race update. Maps, parking, heats for varsity, etc...

Please get dressed in uniforms at school before boarding the bus. Massive amount of skiers tomorrow and it might just simply things!

A few reminders about Races:
LABEL EVERYTHING; SKIS, SKI TIES, POLES, BAG, BOOTS, YOUR FOREHEAD things just disappear at races. You are on the hook for Team Equipment.
Lots of warm clothes for after your race and cheering on your teammates.
You feel great post race. You're warm from racing, "I don't need a jacket, I'm good coach."  your post race high wears off, the chills set in. Bus ride home; "Turn the heat up coach it's freezing in here!" Friday practice. "Hey coach, I don't feel so hot." Winter Break: You guys get lots of skiing in? "Ummm, I was sick..."
Bring the parka and snow pants out post race. You'll thank us later!!

A note on warming up. A nice steady 10 minute ski to get the body temp up and muscles warm. Two or three short pick ups to get the mind and body ready to race. 10 minutes of easy movement and rest where we keep our warm gear on. Cold muscles can't go fast. Physiology they won't/can't go fast. They lock up to protect you from injury not allowing you to ski your best.

Everyone needs to be super aware of their race times and heats tomorrow. There's going to be a lot going on with the different sprint heats. SO, know when you race keep an eye on the time and you'll have a great race.

We're ready to ski fast. Positive mindset, positive energy and the day will be a success!
