Team WOW

Team WOW - Women On Wheels

After much deliberation, our team name has been decided at last! We are

Team WOW - Women On Wheels

Big ups to Carolyn for the very cool suggestion.

It's been a little while since the last update. Due to scheduling conflict, Sigrid Ziegler will not be able to race with us this year. But no worries, our team is still as strong as ever with the addition of Margo Carvell from Team Rainbo! Word on the street is that not only are we in a friendly challenge with the Poulettes, but Flying Fossils has jumped in the fray as well! Cale, are you ready?

Candy and Jessica goofing around in Miami.

Last weekend a couple of our members attended The Great EsSkate in Miami including myself (Candy) and Jessica. The weather was beautiful and the skating was even better.

Charlie Craven from CCD is now in the process of designing our team uniform. I will post the design for members feedback as soon as it is available.

Winter Doesn't Stop Us

Just because we're in the middle of winter doesn't mean our members are hibernating. In the last couple of weeks, there were racing and training aplenty!

Jessica competed in the Palm Beach Challenge two weeks ago for both indoor and outdoor racing. You can check out her race report here. She won her divsion in every distance except for the 10k where she took a spill, ouch. Get well soon!

Over in Toronto, Morgane and Shannon went head to head at the Scooter's Indoor Invitational. Members also meet up regularly for group plyometrics sessions and indoor practices.

Moving to the west, Sarah has been training and racing on long track ice in Calgary since October. Meanwhile, Sylvia has been enjoying the great snowboarding condition in British Columbia.

Rebecca has been keeping busy as well during the winter. Don't forget to check out her tips for winter training at Inline Planet!

The Race Is On Girls!

I hope everyone is as excited about the racing as I am. Here is a note I received from Martine Charbonneau from the other girls' team, Poulettes Sur Roulettes:

"You force me to find a really competitive Poulettes team... I bet it's gonna be a pretty tight girls' race"

Competition, yes!

Now that we're on the topic of gossips, there is also rumour that a new girls category may be added to the race. In any case, I think the race will be awesome this year!
