    Great racing at the Cookie Race. I feel that it was good to race longer races than usual. You all did very well 😆 😆 😆

    A COUPLE OF IMPORTANT POINTS:
    1) You need to register for the weekend AB Cups. Register in your regular AB Cup category for both days. Note that both races are skating. We will try to make the same Team Sprint teams as the Nationals. Some of you will need to race up into a higher category for Sunday because of your partner (more details at the workout on Tuesday). The deadline to register is Wednesday, March 2 at 9pm. I recommend waiting until the deadline date to make sure that the weather will cooperate. Registration link here: https://www.zone4.ca/onlinereg.asp?id=3617

    2) You also need to register for the Nationals this week. The deadline is Friday, March 4th at midnight. Register for all the races that we talked about. Don’t hesitate to ask me questions if you have any. I recommend you get a banquet ticket; it should be lots of fun! Please register as “Canmore Nordic Ski Club” not CNSC. It’s important that our club name is visible. Registration link is here: https://www.zone4.ca/onlinereg.asp?id=3253
