Saturday U of A Crit January 30th

 

Your start times are listed below. I will be at the race course at approx. 6am. with trainers and things set and ready for warm up.

 

15- 18 boys please be on site not later than 6:10am. This way we can warm up with out having to rush. First of the year, lets do everything right.

 

Everyone racing after this please arrive no later than 1:30 hours early for your race. Anything less and it will seem rushed and no one likes to rush. Please arrive on time and ready. I will have all license information so don’t worry about that. If you are racing two races and they are spaced apart by a few hours, you have two options.

 

  1. Hang around the race venue and wait.
  2. Go home or to the clubhouse or somewhere and chill.

 

Either way you will need to rest, better would be sleep, recover and eat. If you stay on site I will make sure that you are out of the sun and relaxing. I do not want you to be cooked for race 2 or for Sunday.

 

Since I will be at the race course all day you will need to get yourselves down there. Please make arrangements with family and friends and know where you bike is, as the clubhouse may not be open when you need on Saturday.

    I’ll be at the clubhouse at around 5:45 tomorrow morning to get my bike. Anyone who needs a bike for an early race can meet me there

    All my best to you on this first race of the season.

    Don’t forget, no matter where you are in the field, sprint to the finish line!

    Make yourselves proud!

    Ditto what Chuck said, of course. You should have completed any homework, packed your bag (along with some post race protein….PB&J is always good, as is chocolate milk), filled your bottles and gone to bed and not be reading this blog any longer!

    Rock on, kids….look forward to watching you race!
