Dear OISC,
By now you probably know that we've moved the Inline Skating
Festival to the pristine, new pavement of Rockcliffe
Parkway. With only 8 days to go, we've
got more news on race awards, the after-party
details, and a daily prize draw for K2 backpacks.
There are also some great expert tips on tapering
and sport nutrition, plus racing tips to help you
ready for a great fall season.
All of the panorama photos below show off the new
Rockcliffe Parkway experience! Enjoy the
read. |

cooltex upgrade. We have to place the T-shirt order then
and won't be able to guarantee shirts for late
registrants.

Tapering for a
marathon  What is the best way
to taper for a marathon? Get the goods from expert Barry Publow.
Also Ray Vermette's very entertaining point of view
on race kit prep is
always worth a re-read. Thankfully our races are
mercifully all in ther afternoon, so no early morning
alarm clock needed! |

Practices start at 6:15 pm Club
practices will start at 6:15 pm sharp from now on.
Unbelievably given the great summer we've had, the days
are getting shorter. Starting at 6:15 pm will help us get a
full practice in to prepare for upcoming events, most
important, of course, our very own Ottawa Inline Skating
Festival. |
