Registration for the 2013 Vancouver Sprint Camp (Feb 8-10) is now open

The sprint camp is a great Vancouver tradition. Can you handle ten events in three days?

This year we only have 20 spaces available for billeting so sign up quickly!

Oh, the video isn't there anymore! Sigh.

I mean, open sheds all you want. But don't expect to find a control in there. Ask the other Patrick.

Is one race really in a pool?
Any tips to help me learn/improve as much as possible at/before this event?

If aqua-jogging is good enough for Thierry and Emily K, it's good enough for us :-)

Tips for success - study sprint map symbols, especially for different levels!

In years past, it's just the "oh my god I can't believe I ran that much today so I'm gonna just sit here in the hot tub with everyone else" session.

Ditto on reading up on ISSOM. If you haven't read much about the urban symbols, it's good to know about building passageways, tunnels, bridges, olive green, and the definition of the word "uncrossable".

6 of the 10 sessions this year are urban, so understanding the symbol set would help a lot.
