Early Season Racing & Training Action

uOttawa Nordiq has had a terrific start to the season!

After Ontario Cup #1 (Candy Cane Cup) , we have had athletes racing at these events:

  • US Eastern Cup, Craftsbury Vermont

  • A fun Boxing Day Burnoff relay at Nakkertok Nordic (some of us raced while some helped run the show!)

  • Ontario Cup #2 - Thunder Bay

  • US Nationals, Craftsbury, Vermont

  • Time Trial with Carleton U Ravens at Nakkertok Nordic

Many thanks to the Nakkertok Development Team who have supported our athletes at some of these events.

Here are some pictures of our athletes in action . . .

Time Trial and Potluck with Carleton U Ravens Nordic Ski Team

We also got together with Queens Nordic and Carleton U Ravens for a fun workout on World Snow Day in the coldest snowstorm of the century!

Beyond racing, the terrific snow in the Ottawa-Gatineau area has meant incredible training sessions in the Gatineau Park and at Nakkertok to get us ready for the rest of the season!
