Natural Fitness Labs would like to extend an invitation to our group to join them for a joint practice and clinic:
SUNDAY, JANUARY 20: Natural Fitness Lab – Quadathlon
09:00 at P19
Skate Ski – Classic Ski – Snowshoe – Lunch
Sunday, 20 January 2019
9am, P19 Lac Philippe
https://www.strava.com/routes/
This is a beautiful non-competitive group practice that we do every year.
There are plenty of opportunities for folks of all levels and abilities to participate, because many of the routes are out-and back (you can short-cut sections and rejoin the leaders at any time), as you can see from the photos the transitions are pretty relaxed and no one takes it seriously, we get the group back together and restart.
This opportunity is meant to be a fun and inclusive training session; open to everyone. There is no cost, no registration, no timing, no results, no stress… but with all the fun, and as much workout as you want to put into it. Join us for at least one of the events.
Schedule
The Start/Transition/Finish is at P19
09:00hrs – Easy paced Start Skate Skiing from P19-#50-#55 to Taylor lake (flat easy terrain), then back to #54 and Lusk Lake (one good climb), return to P19.
