Another successful Para-Nordic development camp in Canmore with all of the Wingers and Wheelers! This is always a great camp to get feedback on how to improve technique from the top coaches in the country, and also to show off our progress from the previous seasons. With four days of great skiing down, we're more than ready and looking forward to a great race season ahead of us!

The BC Para-Nordic crew had a stellar Biathlon camp this Thanksgiving weekend. Andy, Ethan, and Lindsey spent three days working one-on-one with John Jaques and made some big improvements--just in time for the early season! Following shooting we had Kate Boyd join us for some intervals, rollerskiing, and trail running. We also had some great company--Bill Moore and Kevin Priebe--helping out alongside us. Overall we learned a lot in a short amount of time, and we're looking forward to the next camp!

"My competitive 2015-2016 ski season was very short with only one race that had serious compition. This was the race in Vermont it started off okay with an average 7.5k not exceptionally happy but no big mistakes. Then came the 2.5 which 500m in I broke my sit ski but still managed to finish skiing on one ski. The final race was a sprint later that day which would be my best race finished 7th.

As we come into the summer season off dry land training I can't help at looking back on the progress from last season! Man does time fly! This past season started off with some Noram racing in Canmore and Vernon which were a great way to shake the pre season cobwebs off! There are always so many lessons learned while racing able bodied athletes! [ 319 more words. ]

Andy and I doing the Eagle Bluffs hike in West Vancouver with Jessica Heyes. We were hoping for a better view, but still got a great 3 hour workout in!

Summer training is in full force. This last Sunday Andy and I competed in the Seek the Peak for the first time and loved it. We're already excited for next year! We've also spent some time roller skiing; particularly, we've been working on developing and maintaining proper technique. Additionally, we've incorporated some agility at the end of our roller skis up Cypress to keep light on our feet. [ 73 more words. ]
