Hello LCs,
Great work at the races last weekend. Really good to see some progress and everyone pushing hard to have their best day.
The first Alberta Cup races of the season have arrived! AB Cup 1&2 will be on Saturday and Sunday Check the race notice for your distances. Registration closes Tuesday the 14th at 23:59, so don’t delay to get signed up. Some of us were having trouble using Firefox on the registration, so I’d recommend Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Safari probably works too, but I haven’t heard either way. Registration link here: https://zone4.ca/reg.asp?id=27534
Check XC for waxing recommendations/guidelines this week before the races. For classic skis, be sure the skis are clean (no sticky bases/sidewalls/topsheet) and the wax lines are well marked. Ensure you have your name on all your skis- near the tips is best.
Information about each day’s XC race will be shared in a forum post the evening before the race once the Team Captain’s Meeting has wrapped up. Typically by 8pm.
