Dates to Look Forward To!

By -
Hi All!

With the picture of a snowflake in the forecast I can feel the fire in my belly start to burn as the weather starts to chill! 

We are already coming up on some important dates for our season to come!

First we will have our annual rental night at Cross Country Connection, here is a short message from the CCC team:

Hi folks,

It's starting to snow, and we're starting to think about skiing. If your kids need skis this season, mark your calendars for our rental nights.

  • Sunday, Oct. 15, 5-7 p.m. - We'll be renting waxless (non-race) skis. Come if you've got younger kiddos who are not on a team. Please note: we won't be renting race skis until the following week. If at least one of your children is racing, please come for the rental night on Oct. 22.
  • Sunday, Oct. 22, 5-7 p.m. - We'll be renting race skis (i.e. gear for kids on the junior-high or high-school teams).

If you can't make it to one of the rental nights, stop by during normal business hours any time afterwards. (But don't wait too long -- we tend to run out of sizes as we get farther into winter).

Another incentive to come early...

Ski packages are 10% off if you rent before Nov. 20.

Questions? Give us a call - 307-721-2851.

Happy Fall!

~Team Cross Country Connection


Second, our First day of Practice will be November 13th.  Make sure you have your physical and all your paper work turned in to the athletic office.

We will be having a winter sports sign up night as well but I do not have the date as of yet!  I will get that to you asap!

I hope you have a great fall and I am excited to see you all!!!

Eat Your Wheaties!

Breakfast Is For Champions By: Abigail Larson MS, CSCS You’ve heard it before, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. But if you are like many athletes breakfast is a mere afterthought if even a thought at all. But you are different than most people; you are an athlete and that makes breakfast not just important but essential for success in sport, work and/or school. Skipping breakfast slows your body’s ability to burn calories (metabolism) and brain function, and you set yourself up to raid the school vending machine by midmorning. When your blood sugar crashes you’re not likely to make nutritionally wise choices and it’s easy to go for a quick “fix” that will send you crashing again later in the day. This “crash” will cause your training and sports performance to suffer because you won’t have the energy necessary to keep up with your well-nourished teammates and competitors. To train and compete optimally you must eat optimally from start to finish everyday. Lots o

3rd Week - Endurance Block

By -
 Greetings Skiers!   I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and got to eat a lot of good food!  I also hope you are ready to rock out some more dryland training this week. From the forecast, we don't have much snow in the near future (maybe some this weekend.)  However, if that changes be ready to do some skiing!   If you did a lot of training over the break, make sure you are recovering and being able to absorb all the work you did! Please come prepared to be outside for practice to do more strength circuits, hill bounding, and running!  The workouts in red are optional workouts for those of you who are feeling you need to get in more hours. I am working on planning a ski for Saturday and will let you know more as we get closer! Monday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run on your own   Monday PM:   30 min. Run / Core & Yoga at 3:30 in the Yellow Pod and Nutrition talk!  Tuesday PM:   20 min. Warm-up Run / Strength Circuit / 10 min. Cool Down  Wednesday AM:   20 - 30 min. Run-on your
