Hi everyone,
Here are the details for this weekend’s races:
SATURDAY: Skate sprint, King’s court format
Peewees (2004-2005) and mini midgets (2002-2003) will do 3 heats each of 150 m. There will be 4- 6 kids racing head to head in each heat. No elimination , every kid gets 3 heats.
Skis: Please glide wax your child’s skate skis, scrape and brush well. Bring skis with you when you come up to the CNC.
Wax recommendation: Solda performance red or anything for 0 – -5
**Important**:Because there are ~80 CNSC skiers this weekend we are asking parents to glide wax , scrape and brush the classic skis and drop them off to the team room Saturday as well if possible because there is so many pairs to kick wax on Sunday. Alternatively you can bring your child’s skis to the team room on Saturday morning before 9:30 am. This is very important, if we don’t get the skis early we cannot guarantee that they will be waxed for the race.
Race time: 11:00am
Arrival time at team room: 9:45am at team room (to give kids time to get their bibs and do a warmup with a coach)
SUNDAY: classic interval start race
Peewees 1.0km, Minimidget 2.0km
Wax: Solda Performance Red
Skis: we will need your child’s skis dropped off before 9:30am Sunday morning (see above). Glide zones waxed and kick zones need to be cleaned and sanded with 100 grit sand paper (especially important for new skis), do not apply a base binder.
Race time: between 1:00 pm and 1:55pm, check zone 4 AB Cup #2 for start list
Arrival time at team room:
Mini midget boys: 11:30pm
Mini midget girls: noon
Pee wee girls and boys: 12:15pm
Remember we need the kids skis by 9:30am in the morning to make sure we have time to do them all before race time
It is a late start on Sunday, probably a good idea to plan your eating based on your start time. Have a small meal 2 hours before your start. Get lots to drink.
Looking forward to another great day tomorrow! See you up there!
