Details for the race on Saturday at Leavenworth: http://www.skileavenworth.com/event/chicks
Let's meet at the registration area at 8:30am (I'll be shooting to get there at 8:00). We'll need to pick up bibs and get out on the trails for a preview and warmup. The course is on the Fish Hatchery portion of the Icicle Creek trails, which is nearly dead-flat. We'll all be skating, unless someone just HAS to do classic. This will be an 8K race, which will likely take us between 45 minutes to an hour. This is a great distance to work on pacing and trying to keep good V2 and V2alt technique together over a longer ski time. Just remember that the Mt. Catherine Loop is a longer, more difficult ski, and we've all done that just fine! Plan to ski with a water bottle or camelback, and we'll see about coordinating water/snacks near the lap/finish area for those not carrying with them.
By my count, we have seven racers participating, and I think you're all staying over in Leavenworth on Friday night (?): Galen, Amelia B., Amelia M., Elise, Emma, Meg, and RuthMabel.
This is a Women-only event, so I won't be able to sweep this week, or next week either. But I will be moving around the edges of the course a bit to offer encouragement and pester you (depending on your point of view), and hopefully get some more good video that we can break down later.
The weather forecast looks good, overcast and above freezing - probably in the mid-30s at race time. So red/pink glide wax again for anyone fine-tuning their skis tomorrow night.
I can't wait!
