Wednesday Practice Options

Hey Everyone,
So this week there will be a lot of options, you can do which ever suits you and your family, you could even do all of them if you had a time machine and could be in three places at once.

No matter where you go! BRING ALL YOUR EQUIPEMT i.e. your skate rollergear, classic rollergear, running gear etc. Its alot nicer to have what you need than be looking for what you didnt bring. So:

Wednesday:
1. I (Bella) Will be running a session at downsview at 7pm-9pm on Wednesday, We will be doing upper body focus  including rollerskiing. Another great Wicked Wednesday
2. At Hardwood Coach Ron will be running a Wicked Wednesday and going hard. This will be at 5pm.
3. The Rotary Fun Run. Keiran will be here at the barrie waterfront for all who want to run the race. 5km or 10km depending on your division!  http://raceroster.com/events/2015/3972/barrie-rotary-fun-run-2015

If you are at downsview I'll see you there! Have a good week of training everyone and I promise to someday have pictures! Sunday was an awesome hike and a beautiful day. Its training sessions like those that make a person love to ski and be outdoors eh?
Have fun!

Hey there!

Hi everyone,
   Hope you are having a wonderful week training and if you have track and field meets good luck with those.
   First off, Thanks very much to Declan and Silas who came out to the Downsview session with me on Wednesday, I hope you enjoyed the Wicked Wednesday :) I'll be there every Wednesday at 7:00 so if you want to come out and train, come on over!
   Next, This Sunday we will be doing a hike: The information for this was on the Teamhardwoodsummer2015 blog but here it is again:
"Sunday we have a hike / run planned at the Bruce trail.  We are going to meet at Georgian College parking lot at 9am and drive as a group (carpool) over to Devils Glenn for a 15K hike/ run. (Hike details below) if you need a ride please let Tammi know at teamhardwood@gmail.com."
Look forward to seeing you all there! Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or if you can or cant come. 

Wed 20th of May

On Wednesday the 20th of May, the practice will not be done in small groups as last Wednesday was but rather in regions. If you live closer to Hardwood hills you will attend a practice there from 5-7pm by Madi and Ryan. If you live Closer to Downsview you will attend a practice there by Kieran and I from 7-9pm (so as to avoid as much of rush hour as we can), we will be rollerskiing at Downsview so bring what you have and if you have both sets of rollerskiing equipment (skate and classic) bring both.
Both practices will be awesome and fun and enthusiastic so bring some cheer and enthusiasm and come out to whichever you choose!
See ya out there :)

Inspiration!

And here is another lovely video to remind you of all the fun we had on the weekend doing our Crazy hot running tests on Friday. Followed by the strength and erg tests on Saturday morning and a rollerski test or workout Saturday night and a hard hill test at Mt. St. Louis on Sunday.
Look forward to more exciting training and for now here is one of the few training videos I managed to catch, of us doing some nice team burpies! :)

Ski Erg Videos

So as I am sure you all remember on the weekend we did a testing camp together! (I sure hope you remember since it ought to have been hard work. At the camp we took video of your ski erg tchnique so we could see things that needed to be worked on and things that were going really well for you. 

I have put these videos here so you can see. Just since it might be nice to have them to see for yourself what we are talking about :) Have a good one guys!

Sunday Ganaraska Hike

Originally this Sunday May 17th was supposed to be a team hike on the Ganaraska trail. Since it is Victoria Day long weekend and we heard from a lot of people that they wouldn't be able to come because of this we have decided to CANCEL this practice. So there will be NO all camp hike on that day.

That being said however, if you are around and would like to do a short technique workout as a group or small group let me know if you will be around. Then we can look at numbers and maybe plan something for either Sunday evening or Sunday morning depending on what people would like to do.

This session would be good for everyone since more time doing technique is always good! Let me know if you want to arrange a mini team practice with just our group. Either by commenting or Emailing me.

See ya :)

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for coming out on Wednesday to those of you who made it out! We had fun making people wonder what we we doing in the Eastview parking lot! If anyone is interested in other practices at the Eastview parking lot on any other days and if its a good place for everyone to meet let me know and we can see what we can do. Its an awesome way to learn crucial skills without a really hard workout! Something that everyone, myself included, can use.

Im going to find a way to start taking pictures at these practices and camps since I am not quite up to snuff on the whole photos thing!

If you have any feedback on Wed or anything else let me know since this is how we design our plans of what we do!

SECRET TRAINING SESSION

This coming Wednseday, May 13th, we will be meeting at Eastview Secondary School in Barrie again. This is the place we met (today) for the start of the first weekend camp.  We will be meeting at 7:00 opposed to 5:00 as normal. So:

7:00 May 13th we will be meeting at Eastview S.S. 

It will run for about 1.5- 2 hours.

 Let me know if you will be coming please! Either Email me at bellahowden@yahoo.ca or if you look on this page you are currently reading you will see that there is a poll asking if you are coming, you can also answer there :)

We will be using our rollerskis and playing games to get used to them involving chalk, jumpropes and basketballs! This is a chance for most of you to re-get used to your rollerskis, learn them and get comfortable since we will be using them the rest of the summer!

If you do not have rollerskiis, Boots, Rollerski poles or anything else such as a helmet, that we will need for this workout, let me know since there are many extras we will be able to find (if its boots you are lacking I will need your boot size as well.

I'll see you for the rest of this weekend at the camp! Have fun and I look forward to Wednesday!
