Worldcup II: Plans for 3-2-2013

This past weekend a number of our athletes participated in the Fitch-Gilpatrick fund raiser race on Ego.  Those not racing helped with setting, organizing and timing.  Following the race athletes worked on ski fundamentals with their coaches. With the great conditions we have this spring it is important for all athletes to return to fundamentals as spring skiing is actually the start to next years race season.

For this weekend (3/2/13) we will have our second Worldcup race, this time being a GS.  For the final (3/9/13) we will have one run of GS and one run of SL followed by annual results and awards.

For this weeks GS several of our team leaders will be away at the high school shootout, working to earn a spot on the Maine team for the high school New England Finals.  Therefore the co-captains will take over the leader position for this weeks race.

Team 1 - Pierce for Annika
Team 2 - Sarah for Colleen
Team 3 - Erin for Chris
Team 4 - Hayden

If you don't remember what team you are on please refer back to the blog post dated 2/2/13

The schedule for the day will be as follows:

8:30 - pick up bibs
8:45 - 10:00 - free ski and warmup with captains/co-captains
10:00 - 10:30 - course inspection
10:45 - first run GS on Boris (from headwall down)
Second run immediately following first run

Lunch
Free ski with team - coaches will join in after lunch

Parents should feel free to help with organizing and handing out bibs, helping to set the courses, helping to organize athletes at the start, sideslipping the course, collecting bibs at the end of the race and of course cheering and ringing cowbells!  Please see the coaches at 8 am to get organized.

Let's be ready to go out the door at 8:30 so that we can get the race going on time.  Thanks, Coach Reis
