Hello U16/18’s,

Here is where you will find information for AB Cup 3&4 this weekend. I will continually update this forum each night after our team captain meetings on Friday, and Saturday.

 

Mark’s Challenge:
Last race I issued you a little challenge to you show off Respect as one of our team values, by thanking and respecting the time committed by our own parents and club members.

This weekend.. Foothills has declared their Alberta Cup the Nordic Rodeo, so let’s get in the spirit of Fun and make a point to give your teammates support while they’re out sprinting. Over the weekend, try to cheer on at least 3 racers that aren’t in your age category! Bonus points if each of your cheers is unique (and you tell Mark what they were).

 

Friday (10): Team Training
Classic ski drop off: Please bring your classic skis after our race prep session, cleaned and brushed. Base wax PS6. They will be taken to the race venue for you on Saturday morning.

For athletes going to Calgary, you have 3 options for drop off:

1.⁠ ⁠Stop by Thursday night between 6:15-6:30 while U14 Biathlon is closing up and the room is open.
2.⁠ ⁠Give your skis to a friend and have them drop them off for you on Friday.
3.⁠ ⁠Arrive, and submit your skis 2 hours before your category start on Saturday.

As our race morning may be a rush to get your classic skis ready for your sprints, so it is critical you clean your skis properly, removing old grip first, and using wax cleaner with scotch-brite or shop towel to get the last bits. Taking your skis out of the line to clean, or brush them slows ski prep for your whole team!
