How is it already November!?!?! We are 6 weeks out from our first competition and your test results are looking great. A HUGE shoutout to the Coaches for organizing an awesome ski team event this past Saturday! Thank you SO much for all the fun and non-Coach Claire supported activities. 😁

REMINDERS:
- MEMBERSHIPS! It's time (starting Wednesday), to purchase your Wapiti Nordic Ski Club membership (wapitinordic.com). What's the rush you ask? Race licenses need proof of a valid ski club license AND athletes need to be covered under sports insurance for us to be able to coach.
- Athletes who are U14 and older and require a Nordic Canada racing license. Please ensure that you register soon as there are 2 courses that athletes are required to take through NCCP (1 is an hour+ and 1 is 20min). The rule of 2 and Safesport. Parents- please feel free to sit in on this with your athletes so that you know why us coaches are sometimes a bit awkward in trying to figure out logistics and how we can support athlete needs and be supported to best serve the athletes in the safest way possible. We super appreciate all the support!
- Please register for the provincial sport camp if you're interested in attending. Email sent out with info, regarding this.

Tuesday: Meet at St. Joes Track. I wanted to do this workout on Thursday- but the weather changes (for SNOW!!) and so I thought we should get this last test done before we're on snow. Fingers crossed. Bring water and runners and dress appropriately for the weather please.
Thursday: Meet at Thrill Hill again. Bring your short poles and be prepared to run in the snow. Also- bring water bottles and warmer and longer socks- we don't need frozen ankles or feet. I don't care how uncool it looks! 😎🧦
Saturday: I am hopeful that this will change... but if it doesn't, we're going to meet at the mailboxes and the 3-way stop on the dunes road. U12 bring your bikes, everyone else bring poles and runners (see socks note above) and water bottles WITH belts!! I cannot believe I have to write that... 😠 Instead of turning right at the lights off the highway to go to the ski trails- turn left and drive down the dunes road until you come to a 3-way stop. Stop, kick your kids out of the vehicle and keep driving! 😂 There's actually places to park vehicles right there and it's obvious, please don't actually do what I just said.
