🎵I'M BAAACCCKKK! 🎵
I'm not sure if I should put in JAWS music or some scarier notes in that! 😉
I hear that y'all have been just playing games since I left... I feel like we need to throw in a good ol death march this week, or a 20km time trial! OR better yet... burpees and the chocolate milk toss up... oh wait- you should ask Aiden and the Will's about that at practice. Thank you coaches for holding practices and being creative with the team. The pictures were fabulous and brightened my days immensely. Thank you all for your support while I was away.

TUESDAY: I'm aiming for skate skiing and am hoping that you can all skate ski on your good skis still. From the pictures I saw of today, it looks good still.
Thursday: Bring your classic and skate boots as we will have to share the revolutions. We're adventure skiing- so bring your plans of where you want to go adventuring to. Last year we did 1 big group, this year we can do the same or we can break up into a few groups. Let me know at the beginning of practice.
