Resources for the newly-hooked!
Hi there...did my first ever 20km race this past weekend and am hooked
on this sport now. I have a history of Ironman races and triathlons but I think I like this sport even more. I am looking for a good source on spring/summer/fall training...I guess I'll have to get roller skiis! Any help to point to resources is appreciated...thanks, Bill |

Any help to point to resources is appreciated...thanks, Bill Consider joining American Cross Country Skiers (AXCS): http://www.xcskiworld.com/axcs/axcs.htm If you are near Bend, Oregon, XC Oregon's Spring Camp will cover dryland training in addition to on-snow time: http://www.xcoregon.org/spring_camp.html This has been a warm year so Bachelor Nordic's base is down to 10 feet, but if normal weather patterns hold, the snow pack should be good enough for the early April ski camp. We had fresh falling snow during the classic race at last year's National Masters in late March. Edgar |

Any help to point to resources is appreciated...thanks, Bill I found trail maintenance to be a good source for off season training. Lugging lumber to repair bridges, digging culvert crossings, leveling trails with a maddock, as well as the usual fallen tree cutting (no chain saws allowed!), branch trimming and trail marking. It also gets you out in the woods which is very nice. gr |

Hi Bill, You can get in touch with Hardwoodhills or Duntroon Highlands. They both have masters team you could join for training. There's not that much for you right in T.O., however - except you can rollerski there. Cheers Craig www.xcottawa.ca |
