2008-02-17T14:57:00Z

Thanks to everybody that made the race, we more than doubled the number of participants since the last one we held in 2006. Thanks also to all the volunteers that made it possible. Thanks to Mother Nature for providing the best snow I can remember in these parts since I moved here in 1987!

Without further adieu, here are the results.

YMCA Ski Sale is on today!

2007-11-04T11:27:00Z

Our club is once again helping out with the YMCA Ski Sale. We help organize the cross country ski part of the event, staff the sales area and try to get athletes connected with skis where we can. We also setup a ski waxing station and hot wax skis and snow boards, an important fund raiser for our club. Between these two activities, we involve all the kids and most of the parents for a lot of the weekend. It's a big effort so say thanks to anybody you run across there, because of course we know you will all be hoping to find a good deal on some skis today!

The sale is at the west side YMCA, north of Hwy 29. Directions are here.

Stump Farm Classic Information - The Race has been canceled!

2007-02-08T18:59:00Z

Update - 2/13/2007 - The Stump Farm race has been canceled. After looking at the course options, it has been determined that even with a lot of work, the course would not be good enough for a high quality race. To everybody's knowledge, this is the first time the Stump Farm has ever been canceled and this is disappointing for both those racers that have enjoyed a nice but not terribly difficult race just before the big marathons, and because it is an important fund raiser for the Ashwaubenon Nordic Ski Team. Let's look forward to a much better year next year.

As of today (2/8/2007), the Stump Farm Classic is still on for Saturday the 17th of February! We have not yet set the course yet however and our plan is to evaluate between a few options tonight and make a call. The good news is while the general shortage of snow we are all familiar with wherever you happen to be from is true here too, we do have snow and the weather is not likely to change that between now and the 17th.

When we decide on the venue we will post the registration form as soon as possible.

UPDATE: after reviewing the possible venues today, we have decided to hold off on a decision until Monday or Tuesday of next week. Think Snow!
Check back here for more information.

Conserve school race results

2007-01-08T03:06:00Z

The boys team skied at the Conserve School on Saturday and we had a great day. For team results Lakeland was first, we were second, Rhinelander was third. There was a lot of good competition to reach that and it was good skiing across the board that did it for us.

Daniel was 2nd with a time of 16:50

Brian was 7th with a time of 17:34

Aron was 15th with a time of 19:18

Chris was 26th with a time of 20:50

Ben Hugis of Wausau West won the race.

These results were personal bests for every person on the team. Congratulations to everyone on your great job! Here's to looking for more results the rest of the year.

Practice week of 1/8

2007-01-08T03:04:00Z

Conditions will be favorable to make snow this week in Madison , we are all signed up to race the team sprints on Saturday afternoon! We have rooms and we need to finalize plans; please get with the Blocks if you need room space. Also, the races on Sunday are also on your agenda, If you are going to Madison , you need to go online and sign up for the Sunday sprints! The team did not enter you in that, only the HS relays.

Also, not a time to rest on your laurels, we will continue to build fitness and strength with a focus on peaking for State. The rest of the state now knows at least about the boys based on our Conserve results, we ourselves don’t know about our girls. Time to keep the training progression going.

Monday: ITP skate RS, at 335 pm till 5 pm, We will adjust to conditions but I expect this will have a speed focus. It there is ice on the roads, have running shoes along we will go for a trot with poles.

Tuesday: The pit, hill bounding – good intensity last week, we will up the intensity a little bit 335 pm till 510 pm. 12 bounds and various other things. We want to have a strong 1.5 hour workout.

Wednesday, on your own. Light aerobic workout and strength. The easiest way to get better in the next 4 weeks is to get quicker and strong so strength is key.

Thursday; Ashwaubomay – Classic, catskis and classic RS, mini relays (like pickups), boys v girls with a handicap system devised by yours truly 335pm to 5 pm.

Thursday evening 6 pm to 8 pm ski waxing open at Putmans.

Friday – I have to travel to race the Seeley Hills classic marathon by Hayward, Coach Nelson will be our sprint coach and it the marathon gets delayed a week then I will be able to join you.

Saturday: Team sprints and citizen FS 5k

Sunday: Individual classic sprints qualifiers and JOQ/HS semis and finals, citizen CL 5k

The Hodag Nordic Challenge scheduled for this Sunday (1/7/07) has been cancelled due to poor snow conditions.

2007-01-05T18:03:00Z

From the Rhinelander race crew

Hi All: We are sorry to inform you we have made the decision to cancel the Hodag Nordic Challenge skate race scheduled for this Sunday at the Northwood Ski Trails. We had two days of temperatures in the high 30's and it did not get below freezing last night. We were hoping to do a test groom at 6 AM today which was not possible. The forecast calls for below freezing temps Friday through the weekend. Our course will be one big sheet if ice. Without the chance for the groomers to see what they can do the prudent decision is to cancel. Our goal now is to preserve the ski trail base and hope for more snow on our wonderful state meet course. Thanks for your interest and support of our event - it's greatly appreciated

Sincerely:

The Northwoods Nordic Ski Club Board & Rhinelander High School Nordic Ski Coaches

Practice week of 1/1/2007

2007-01-02T14:50:00Z

Happy New Year everybody!

Monday 1-1 330 till 5 pm at ITP, easy distance and pickups/relays. Skate RS.

Tuesday 335, Triangle hill “the PIT” for hill bounding. 10 bounds and 10 walks. Plus bungis. Last hard work before the race.

Wednesday, on your own, suggest you do an aerobic warmup then strength, weights and or core, pull ups, push ups, box jumps, dips, squats pull downs….

Thursday, classic technique on CAT skis, bring classic boots and poles (Jojo bring your team poles) at Ashwaubomay at 335.

Friday wax at Putmans or Pliners or maybe Ashwaubenon if we can get the equipment rearranged.

Sat warm up – race – cool down

Sun warm up - race and longer cool down to get about 1.5 hours total work.

Practice change for 12/21

2006-12-21T04:31:00Z

Light precip is forecast as a possibility for tomorrow afternoon so we will classic RS (or skate if you don’t have classic) from ITP at 335. We will do 2 - 3 lap time trails around the Wynadot loop starting at 405 so get warmed up between 335-405 by skiing the core loop a couple of times.

These time trails should be about 10-13 minutes each. We will do an easy rest loop in between. Please bring a watch to time yourself. Of most interest is equal or negative splits between the two. This is a great loop for this as it is super low traffic and appropriate for a good sustained effort at a dusky time of year. We will finish with several core loop laps to cool down.

As always, bring a flasher if you have one. I’d like it if we could each ski with two, front and back. Bring running shoes just in case.

Coach

Practice week of 12/18

2006-12-17T17:32:00Z

Subject to change on the basis of conditions

Bring a flasher if you have one and running shoes to any RS practice:

Monday: 335 pm- 5pm ITP skate skis, ski specific strength – 5x DP climb and 4x skate without poles climb. 14 x 10 sec pickups, 8 DP and 6 skate.

Tuesday 335 pm-510pm Triangle hill, “the pit.” Park on Baird Creek rd. at the base of this hill. We will intersperse bungis into this effort.

Wednesday: On your own, best combo is: a light running warmup and then ski directed weight workout.

Thursday: Park rd entrance to Pamperin park; If weather permits, this will be a CAT ski time trail, extended race effort workout. Over 15 minutes with a 15 minute warm up and cool down.

Saturday: 2 different potential races; the MTU time trail and the Saux head sprints ( Marquette ) or just drive to snow. If they do not have good conditions (my projection today) then we will do skate ED and pickups at ITP at 930 am. Ski school at 11am.

Sunday: 930 am ITP skate OD 2 hours, no ski school.

Christmas day, on your own

12-26 – 12-31 travel to snow and log an average of 2 hours (-) a day. No intensity - all ED or OD. Switch techniques by workout or daily, match up with the weather, snow…. We will also put up a dryland schedule later. Contact Coach Putman.

Practice week of 12/11

2006-12-08T10:03:00Z

I project that we will have dryland conditions by Monday and so the next weeks schedule is a dryland schedule. Subject to change at the last minute unexpectedly and with no apparent basis! (check email at 10 pm and you will have the scoop).

Sat and Sunday – on your own – Saturday am may be one of those perfect times to ski. Sunny day and warm, Sunday early am just as the thaw is starting may be fine to ski also. Otherwise, run or rollerski when the roads clear up. Target time running etc.. 2 hours.

Monday – Skate RS at 335 at ITP. 40 minute DP and SS with Bungis/core plus 20 minute no poles, bring a flasher and flashlight. (assumes we have clear roads). December club meeting 7 pm Parkview.

Tuesday – 345 at Triangle hill. Hill bounding from the pit. Strive for 25.

Wednesday – On you own, great day to do the run and lift combo.

Thursday – Classic RS if you got em at ITP, hill repeats, level 3. Wax for those on the way to Houghton

Friday – travel day

Saturday – Skate race, Houghton
Sunday, Classic race, Houghton.

If you are in town the plan is coach Nelson will lead several practices, more on that later.

Practice week of 11/26

2006-11-26T15:51:00Z

Always always bring running shoes to practice. We will run if we can’t ski.

This is the hardest/darkest time and hang in there. Your efforts are paying off as you are all skiing better. This is a really cool team and I want you to do well.

So….

11-26 Sunday our usual skate OD at ITP. 130pm for the training group and 330 for ski school. Ski school and the training group will ski over and play ultimate Frisbee in the school parking lot as our ski school effort.

Monday 335pm till 5 pm at ITP, skate easy distance with hill pickups.

Tuesday 530 sharp, hill bounding at triangle hill. We will do the snow dance at this practice.

Wednesday – on your own, good day to run and lift. I will go Cat ski.

Thursday – 335 pm CAT ski intervals 4minutesx4 and classic DP intervals, 5 minx 3 at the Park Rd gate entrance to pamparin park ( there is some chance I will need to miss this practice so we may need to adjust our plans).

Friday on your own – good night off

Saturday 2 a day – am Jingle bell run, we need a Captain to organize us as a team so we can have a picture taken and use the team vip lounge and Jacuzzi (am I joking?),

Also Sat 2pm - 315 ITP training group and ski school, testing, 3x test hill climb, it will be colder so our skis may be slower but we will give it a shot. Daniel is our test subject as this will be his third test. Except for this test this will be an easy distance day.

Sunday – I am wishing we can drive to snow for a day in the UP. If not we will do an OD at 130 at ITP followed by 330 ski school. If we can drive to snow we will do a two a day, classic am and skate PM, 1-2 hours each which a lunch in between. We would leave early morning. (7am) and return by 8 pm. Cross your fingers.
