I am excited to get to some racing 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

Skate sprint race. Check http://www.zone4.ca for start times

Please bring your skis to the team room for 7:30am (juveniles and older).

Check in: Please stop by the team room 1.5 hours before your start. Roy is the welcoming committee. There will be no room in the team room to hang out, or leave gear, so just collect your bib, get any messages and go to the daylodge.

Top 30 advance into the heats if there are more than 30 racers in the qualifier. Focus on the qualifying round first, then the coaches will brief you on the heats.

Here is the start order for tomorrow:
Qualifier:
15sec interval start starting at 9am (look at zone4 for your start time)

King’s court sprint race for mini midget and younger at 11am

Heats:
500m course starting at 12:15pm
1000m course starting at 2:30pm

Lucky losers will advance on times.

Course closes at 8:50am for the qualifier. No skiing on the course during race. No skiing backwards on race course at all times. Warm up on Banff Trail.

Get to the start by going around the day lodge (do not jump the fence in front of bwtc).

10 meters of double poling at the start (qualifier and heats).

Please give any spare poles to Roy if you have any.

3 sets of awards, 20 minutes after the end of each distance (200m, 500m and 1000m)

Parking: It will be tight. You might have to park on the road, plan your travel accordingly.

Have a plan as to when you are starting your warm up, T3 and LC’s you will be mostly on your own for warm up. Younger categories, will talk to the meet and greet person, and get a time for warm up 🙂

Leave warm up skis, and poles outside the team room.

Please bring your classic race skis with you tomorrow. Put on the same glide wax as Saturday’s race or put it on in the team room after your race. If you decide not to leave your classic race skis on Saturday, bring them to the team room no later than 2.25 hours before your start. Wait until Saturday for final word on binder, we may not want you to put it on.

Wax helpers, please check in to wax room as per the waxing plan- THANKS!

This will be a fun and exciting weekend
