| boyle: | The first meet of the season, April 20, is coming together nicely. The
snow is pretty deep in places, still, but should be mostly gone by Sunday. It will be wet under foot, though, so be prepared. There will be three courses, a Novice and two Intermediate courses, one of 3.5km and one of 5.0km. Given that the complex areas of the map are snow covered or will be terribly wet and muddy, or both, this event will be more like a long sprint than a normal B-meet. For the intermediate courses we will be using a combination of SI and traditional punch cards. Some of the controls will be very close together and you will have special maps to help you out. You will need to be attentive to getting the right control in the right order and punching in the right box - we will be checking carefully. The start will be at Terry Fox sports complex rather than the usual parking lot because that lot is not yet open. To get to Terry Fox, head south on Riverside from Hogs back and turn right into Mooney's Bay and immediately right again over a hill and down into the Terry Fox parking lot. Note that because we are using SI in a very public area we will have folks watching over those controls. Since we do not want these folks standing around for a long time we will have starts only from 10:00 to 10:45 and the course will close at noon, when we will start bringing in the controls. That should be lots of time for everyone to run, but don't sleep in ;-) |
