Tryouts: The CF Ethos Cross Country Ski Team
July 8, 2010

Announcement:  We will conduct tryouts for the CF Ethos Cross Country Ski Team all day tomorrow.

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are less than 4 years away.  If we are going to be competitive in the 4x10 km cross country skiing relay event, we better get training yesterday.  The Norwegians are a traditional powerhouse in cross country skiing (can't imagine why), but they've probably never come across a bunch of Crossfitting cross country skiers from Orange County. I've attached a couple inspirational videos for you guys.

I am so annoyed to miss this! This is my sport and I LOVE this machine. All my training on the Montana golf courses in the winter is out the window. :)

I asked Black Jon if this was true.  I thought I had missed out on A LOT since not being in the gym lately and on crossfit.com.  I have never used this ski machine and I am not looking forward to it.

my entire upper body is a wreck from the workouts this week, so i wasnt sure how i would do today. the first 500 meters it felt like my arms were on fire but i think they went numb and i continued to keep up with the 2 minute splits. i wish i could have broken the 12 minute mark though...
