Great racing out there today team. Hopefully you can all think about your day and take away something that you did well, and something that you can do better for tomorrow. We have had lots of traffic training and practice skiing in groups. So you should be ready ski smart and smooth tomorrow.
Arrive at the team room to pick up your bib and check in with your coach 1hr and 15 min before your start. Then take your bag to Wax Room 15 and wait there for your coach. We will have a quick chat and head out for a warm up ski.
Wax your skis tonight with Solda performance red, scrape and brush. Bring them with you when you come to race.
Tomorrow: Mass Start Skate Race!
-5 lanes ~100 M long, Double pole only start.
-Access the start by going under tunnel again as you did today. Walk down to mass start area to the left of the biathlon range. You will be marshaled across the lap lane to get to the start to ensure you do not interfere with another race.
-Chips will be at mass start area
-coach will take the kids to to start no earlier than 15 min before your start. We will not be allowed in the grid before then.
-after the race please be sure to wait for all the other TA’s to finish and then we will head out for a cool down ski with the coaches. After the cool down ski you may meet your child at the normal drop off location where we start TA or at the awards. If you are going to take your child prior to cool down please let the coach know. Part of our first race weekend is just learning the routines that will last the season and beyond.
-Awards- 2:30
-Officials on the course will be looking for obstruction= you can’t “block” other skiers from passing.
-Remember to ask your kids to say thank you to 2 volunteers and congratulate each other on a great 1st and 2nd race of the season.
