Hi U14’s,

New Updates from Saturday TCM in Blue. Scroll down to Sunday.

This forum post will have all the information you need for AB Cups 1&2 this weekend. Check back at the end of each night Friday and Saturday for details for the races.

 

Friday: Practice

If you have skate race skis, please bring them in at the end of practice and we will sort them in. If you do not have race skis, make sure to arrive 1.5 hours before on Saturday to drop off.

Please wax skate, and classic race skis with PS6. Scraped and brushed.

 

Saturday: AB Cup 1 Skate Sprint Qualifier & Team Sprint

Start list will be on Zone4. Arrive at the team room 1.5-1.25 hours before start to check in, get your bib.

Team warm up will begin 9:00.

Bibs for the qualifier will be in the team room when you arrive. Team Sprint bibs will be picked up by athletes, in the Race Office, located in the Day Lodge in meeting room A. Please pick up 45min before start time. Do this before warming up.

Chips will be picked up in the stadium.

There may be an opportunity to warm up on the sprint course for the team sprint, stay tuned.

Skis will be ready 15 minutes before you start. If you don’t have race skis, be sure to let us know when you pick up your bib.

The qualifier individual start will not be tracked. It will be a starting wand gate, once you have broken the gate you are free to skate.

If you have classic race skis, please bring those in after your race is finished. Remember: Your classic skis need to be CLEAN, scraped, and brushed. If you do not have race skis, make sure to arrive 1.5 hours before to drop off.

 

Sunday: AB Cup 2 Classic Mass Start

If you missed ski hand in look, you’ll need to bring your classic skis to the team room a little earlier in order for us to process them in time for your start. Tomorrow’s kick wax is going to be a multi-step process to ensure it lasts for your entire race.

Please bring them: ~2hrs. before start.

Start list will be on Zone4. Arrive at the team room 1.25 hours before start to check in, get your bib. You will be given leg numbers in addition to bibs, these will be placed on your left calf facing outwards.

Wax your warm up skis with rode violet. Have some Violet, and Viola Extra, and cork in your pocket to wax your own skis should you need more.

Race skis will be ready 30 minutes before your start for testing. Check in outside the team room for adjustments.

Chips will be at the start. Be sure to arrive at the start at least 10 minutes before your start so there is proper time to get your chip and load the mass start grid with time to spare.

Warm up on Banff trail and frozen thunder. Course closes at 8:55am.
