Make sure you are preparing for practices the night before - poles, gloves, hats, clothing layers, food, drink, and sleep are as important as the workout ; and sometimes more important.!!

It would be good for all to go over the ski team handbook to help get you prepared for the coming season ( clothing, ski equipment, wax, etc.). You can find it on this Weekly Workout link.
