A full November

November is an exciting time in HURT nation....high school nordic programs are ramping up, cold temps at night, flakes begin to pop up in the weather forcasts and skiers get that dreamy look in their eyes when they think about the possibility of Thanksgiving snow.  Director Kozoil knows it can also be a frustrating time for training....dark comes early, cold rains, and after months of rollerskiing everyone is ready for the real thing. In order to make the month go by fast, the Director wants to encourage you to join the team for some of the upcoming November events.

November 9th, 10th and 11th : the annual Festival of Pain.  See the official FOP flyer posted below. These are non-sanctioned training events and each participant assumes the risk of training, pain, injury, having too much fun.....and bears.

November 17th:  Trail work in Glens Falls.  A lot of work has been started at Crandall Park but there is still a lot to do.  Chips to be spread, cut back stuff and clearing sticks after Sandy. All helpers assume the risks of doing work in the woods....and bears

November 18th: Kingston Rollerski race. One of the best rollerski races around.  Tons of fun, tons of prizes, great expo, come and be part of the HURT domination. Email Chris Y, to let him know you will race for HURT as soon as you can.

That should get you to that Thanksgiving ski!  (fingers crossed)

Watch out for bears.
