Saturday 29th of April
A chance to be introduced to Andrew Paul who is the new Vic XC Ski Team Coordinator. Andrew has a long history (as he is pretty old) with the different VIC XC ski teams over the years, be it participant, coach, camp organiser & parent.
An information session for parents and athletes will be held at the Studley Park Boat House (about 300m from the rollerski course) at 12 midday. Details are still being formulated due to a late start but we will be doing our best to provide good opportunities for training, camps & race support, plus some new ideas to offer. Straight after the meeting we can head back in time for rollerskiers to join in a warmup before the Teardrop Loop is closed for the time trial. If there are any young skiers (maybe a younger sibling of a Team member) who may not have rollerskis and want to give it a try, there are several classic or skaters with some limited poles & boots available.
