Hello Team!
GREAT RACING OUT THERE TODAY! There were a lot of brave efforts and everyone should be proud. High five team.
Weather: Similar to today- A few forecasts out there, but typically -15 C for a low with a high of -10 C and snow. If you were chilly today, add some extra layers of clothing. Studies have proven that warm mammals have more fun and out preform cold mammals.
Tomorrow is mass start racing and it will be a blast. The goal is to meet some friends on the start line.
Start list and start times
Check Zone4 Link here: https://zone4.ca/event/2021/ABCup1/Drop off times and location
U10 Boys and U10 girls: 10:00 am meet at the American Flag. Warmed up by Sara Renner. 11:00 am start (U10 Boys) and 11:02 (U10 Girls)
U12 Boys and U12 girls: 10:30 am at the American Flag. Warmed up by Thomas and Aria Grandi. 11:30 am start (U12 Boys) and 11:32 (U12 Girls)
Prior to drop off, pick up your child’s bib at Wax Room 2. Be sure your child has had a bathroom prior as well.Warm up to cool down: volunteers will warm up, get the kiddos to the start line and lead the cool down. There will be spots on the course for you all to cheer wildly. Once the cool down is complete, usually 30 minutes after finishing, you can retrieve your child around the finish area or sliding in a snow bank within sight.
Glide wax: CH4 or equivalent temperature (-10) for both Saturday and Sunday’s races. If you are feeling keen, glide wax and scrape your classic skis. Glide waxing kids skis is not mandatory and, at this age, does not effect performance. If you don’t have wax, your least favourite Christmas candles work too. It can be a fun or funny family activity.
Classic skis: The Canmore Nordic Wax Team will take care of grip waxing your child’s skis. The expectation is that the skis are marked with your child’s name, all kick wax is removed and the skis are cleaned and the wax zone is marked with a Sharpie. If you didn’t bring classic skis on Saturday, be sure to drop them off at Wax Room 2 no later than two hours before start time. Note: for classic skis, you do not glide wax in the kick wax zone.
A reminder from the Organizing Committee, We are still in COVID times so we need to limit our time at the venue. Please Arrive- Warm Up- Race- Cool Down- Depart. Don’t linger and hang out at the venue.
There are no awards for under 12. A good thing as Norwegian studies have suggested that awards ceremonies for kids under 12 do not promote authentic joy.
