AB Cup #3 has arrived! Individual start classic race. We are fortunate to be having a race, so please respect all the COVID-19 guidelines noted on the event website here: https://foothillsnordic.ca/races/alberta-cup-3-4/
Please: Arrive- Warm up- Race- Cool down- Depart. Do not hang out at the venue.
Wear your mask the whole time you are at the venue, except when skiing.
The Health Assessment that everyone must fill out form for January 8th is available here: Athlete/Coach ASSESSMENT FORM
There will be no award ceremony. Medals that are earned will be distributed to coaches and we will hand them out at our next day of team training.
Access start around the day lodge by the skating rink. Do not cut across the course.
Tracking rule is in effect, so remember the faster skier has the right of way. Track at least a full ski length so the athlete in front has time to get out of the track. If you get tracked, don’t be discouraged, but see it as an opportunity to get a ride!
Remember, if there is a track set, you can not push to the side with a gliding ski. That is skating and not allowed in a classic race. There were many infractions in the last AB Cup. Cornering zones will be marked with a perpendicular V Board, and there will not be any tracks.
Focus on your own warm up. Don’t warm up as a group, but on your own. This way you will arrive at your start at the right time (about 10 minutes before your start). Start times are on Zone4.
We will have race skis ready 30 min before your start for testing. Be sure to test them at race pace. Warm up on the biathlon trails.
If you did not drop off your skis today, they need to be delivered to the teamroom by 11:30AM Saturday morning.
Wax your warm up skis at home with Swix Blue Extra.
Arrive at the team room 1 hour before your start to check in with your coach and collect your bib.
These are our home courses, with our hills, in our mountain town. We spend hours and hours climbing mountains in the summer, so you are well prepared for this challenging course. Respect the challenge they provide, but embrace the challenge! Looking forward to a great day of racing!
