Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to send just a quick update.
The next part of the season carries a lot of fun, but also has its challenges. The plus side is that there are less day to day changes and more predictable schedules. Another plus is that you all have been on skis for a month. The main challenge is staying engaged in trying to constantly improve in technique and conditioning (through workouts). The snow becomes repetitive and the workouts are challenging, but we will do everything we can to help bring you through this part of the season well. Building into the depth of relationships and connecting with one another is what helps make the difficulties of these next few weeks enjoyable. Encourage one another, stay positive, enjoy the hard work because that is when growth happens, compete hard when we get the chance, and just try to improve every day. Lets have a great January. Here are the reminders:
1. we will classic Monday - Wednesday, then skate on Friday.
2. Try to get to practices when you can and get out to ski when you can't. We want to keep the progress that all of you have made to maximize our end of the season. The link to the workouts if you cannot make practice is in the team feed in helloteam.
3. Mesabi teams will be slightly adjusted. One person said they couldn't make it so far, so the team that is being entered will be posted in Hello team later this week.


Let me know if I am missing anything. I have had a few people point some things out in the chat and I always appreciate it.
