President's letter:
It's hard to believe the season is almost over and Nationals is only a few
weeks away. After Nationals each rink will take a break before beginning
practices for the 2008-2009 season. How long that break will be may vary among
our three rinks. In Brighton, we'll start practices on Wed, Sep 3. Remember
that this is a break from indoor practice, not a break from training. You
should continue your conditioning by cross training. You can skate outdoor,
cycle, run, walk, hike, swim, lift weights, practice yoga, learn to bellydance,
log some time on the elliptical, or take some Spinning classes. It matters
less exactly what you do than that you do some type of training so you'll be
ready to go when the new season begins. Talk to your coach if you'd like
specific suggestions for off season training.
Also, during the break we'll have an end of season team party - Sat, Aug 9,
11-2 at the Brighton rink. Bring a dish to share and your skates. I hope
everyone will be able to come.
I want to congratulate everyone for working so hard this year. It's been an
exciting season. We're all skating better than ever. Anthony has brought in
lots of new young skaters in Cheyenne, Dave has built a strong program in
Pueblo, and in Brighton Michael has helped us take our skating to a new level.
We are a team to be proud of. Good luck to everyone at Nationals - skate fast,
turn left, and have fun! Whether you win a place on the podium or not, I know
that all of you will perform like champions.
Thank you,
Randy
