<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">We have another Jakroo piece that members may want to consider. It is a one-piece racing suit. These suits are</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">made of a really nice material, and fit well. They have been well received by a club that has ordered their</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">custom design. This link below will show you the design which has been added to our clothing. The request to</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">add this design and new material came from some BC members who want to purchase the one piece race suit.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I have approved this new one piece race suit design to be added to our Jakroo store. We are hoping to</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">confirm 6 orders to get the team price.</p>

I had an old pair of downhill skis that I didn’t get to use much, so I just started skiing around our mostly flat property with them. I wore my heels raw trying to do this in downhill boots. My parents then got cross country skis for me to save my heels and at the same time for the whole family. I would ski after school making my own loop on our property and on weekends with my Dad in Bronte Creek Provincial Park when there still used to be snow in southern Ontario.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">2.

I went in the Burlington winter carnival ski race in 1978 (I think), hardly anyone else there so I won the youth category. The next year I went again and there were lots of other people racing including the Halton Ski Club. These other kids would blow by me on uphills, but I would catch up on flats and downhills. I thought that was odd, until I found out there was such a thing as grip wax that made it easier to go uphills. The summer after at the age of 15, I saw the same kids roller skiing and I said to my parents I want to do that too. So I gave Ernie Roth the coach of the Halton Ski Club a call asking if I could come out to their next practice. That practice was a mix of running, ski striding and strength – all things I had not done much before. I was so tired and stiff for days after, but was hooked and the team welcomed me in. My first real southern Ontario race was in the 1981/82 season at Mountainview in Midland, what a treat that was racing as part of a team with grip wax in real tracks – made it so much more fun and faster. I was addicted after that and was blessed to have an amazing first coach in Ernie and a great group of teammates that I am still friends with to this day.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">3.

I have been to the subsequent ones held in Canada - Sovereign Lakes BC and Canmore AB last year. Also was at Minneapolis, but contracted pneumonia the day of the first race. Tried to race the 10km and was green after, so my teammates forcibly put me in the car and sent me home.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">4.

So basically I train with athletes almost 40 years younger, who push me and I keep them honest. A great symbiotic relationship. I get to see them get faster as they get older, and I try to just not get slower as I get older. There is a magical time when we are the same speed skiing and that is really fun, but only lasts a year until they are way faster. I also continue to race in the Open Category and go to some Ontario Cups – while it can be humbling it is also good experience trying to hang on to a faster skier if even for a short time.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">5.

So much has changed there since then. The courses pleasantly surprised me as before I raced on them I didn’t think they were that hard, but racing on them was challenging with no real rest sections until the end. Race organization and logistics were great. For me one highlight, I can’t lie, was winning the 45km skate race, standing on the podium with a gold medal and cowboy hat on and name and Canadian flag on the screen behind me, while the national anthem was being played was pretty great. I also was lucky to stay with two former Thunder Bay skiers for two weeks which was great and we cooked some amazing meals together. Skiing backcountry in the mountains with Mike Jones after the event was also amazing and made it hard to leave.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">6.

Would have considered Seefeld next year as I have relatives in Germany that are not that far away (at least by Thunder Bay driving standards), but the 2023 Ski Nationals are in Thunder Bay and I am co-chair of the organizing committee, but will also be racing myself as well. Even though I am way behind the winners it is still a hoot to race the best in Canada and pretend I am still a young ski racer. I definitely plan to be at the next Canadian or American World Masters.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Congrats to Werner for his Gold in long skate (45 km) ,and a Bronze in M2 relay at the World Cup in Canmore this past March!

I was a distance runner and it was a nice way to get a bit of cross training. I had the good fortune to have Russ Evans to coach me and get me into racing". Note: Russ played a big role in Ontario Masters skiing for many years.</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Mark continued racing through University and got into serious bike racing. Like most Masters once Mark started a family, racing was on the back burner. Mark became a paddling instructor, running a</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"> high school adventure program and eventually became a guide for Black Feather - the adventure company. </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">When did you get into Masters Racing ?</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">"About 8 years ago, Wendy Grater, the owner of Black Feather and Ontario Masters Director, suggested I should come out and race with the Ontario Masters group. After a bit of hesitation, I committed to getting back in reasonable form and come out. The community was very welcoming and the races were very fun. My competitive spirit had been re-ignited. After some moderate success in the first season, I realized I wanted to be able to keep up with the ‘top guys’. With each successive season my training plan, preparations and equipment got a little more sophisticated. In order to manage this a bit more efficiently and cost effectively, I decided to focus on just one discipline, classic technique. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">With a background in endurance sports and academic training in exercise physiology and biomechanics, I was able to set up my own training program that was fairly effective. After a few seasons I was starting to be able to ski with the ‘top guys’. Although I wanted to participate in the World Masters events in Klosters (2017) and Minneapolis (2018), my work schedule and family commitments prevented it. Bietostollen(2019) was my first Masters World Cup event. It was such an incredible experience that I committed to racing at the event in Cogne in 2020.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">A few weeks before the event the ‘wheels fell off the wagon’ for that event and the black cloud that is COVID-19 cast its shadow on Italy. Little did we realize how COVID-19 would effect the world over the next two plus years.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">With nearly two years without any real ski racing, Canmore WMC was such a welcome objective. I had tried to continue ski training through it all. It was exciting to be on the starting grid at the Canmore Nordic Centre with an international field. To be able to stand on the podium afterwards was extremely rewarding. The World Masters Cup races are so well done, they elevate the ski racing experience to a level where everyone feels special for being there. The friendships that you make are reasons onto themselves to keep coming back, season after season. My plans are already in motion for Seefeld WMC in 2023."</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Congrats to Mark for fantastic results in Canmore and a thank you for mentoring younger Master skiiers and getting engagement in the sport.</div></div><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Good luck in Seefeld.

Winter has always been Thomas's absolute favourite time of the year with his interests on snow, going from predominantly downhill skiing & snowboarding to almost entirely xc skiing. </div></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-ii04i59q" style="color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Thomas picked up cross country skiing in 2015. After a couple years of skate skiing in nearby Gatineau Park, his neighbour Mark Orzel (former pro bike racer & national cross-country runner, current Masters racer in M6 category) introduced him to structured training. Thomas started training with Mark regularly, but found that skate skiing aggravated old ankle injuries so he switched to classic skis - courtesy of Mark . Training with Mark turned out not to be a seasonal endeavour, with cycling in the summer, filling the skiing void. Thomas's garage (like most Masters nordic skiers) has since filled with bikes and skis. Mark's enthusiasm quickly spread to Thomas's partner, Carlee Glendenning, who also competed at Canmore in the W1 category! </div></div><div class="gmail-cxmmr5t8 gmail-oygrvhab gmail-hcukyx3x gmail-c1et5uql gmail-o9v6fnle gmail-ii04i59q" style="color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Congrats to Thomas on his great performance at his first World Cup and a big thank you to Mark for mentoring Thomas and Carlee into Masters nordic racing!

The 3rd week of March is planned as the date. </p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(86, 86, 86); color: #565656; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;">More information at <a href="http://www.mwc2023.com/" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #f0ab00; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">www.mwc2023.com</a>.</p>Ontario Masters Cross Country Ski Assoc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11770212229518837228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788788116225778053.post-40426962725816720362015-03-09T14:49:00.002-07:002015-03-09T14:49:43.307-07:00Welcome<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
