Team Razbo, Mt Snow, VT
Our
Female racer dropped out and we are desperatly looking for a replacement for this race. We are a novice team just looking for experience and some fun. Send me an e-mail if you are interested.
ar@abaroa.org
General Course Info (events in alphabetical order, not necessarily race order)
Total distance - approx 40 miles, although we will not reveal the breakdown of events, or if any of the events will be repeated etc will not be revealed until the MORNING of the start.
Canoeing - The paddling will be on a lake(s) where wind may be a factor! Canoe Paddles and PFDs are available if needed, and personal paddles and/or PFDs are allowed, as long as they are Type III CG approved, non-inflatable.
Mountain Biking - Good mix of 'cruisy' doubletrack, a little singletrack, steep climbing, and fun descents.
Navigation - no specific 'orienteering' section, but teams will have to use their map & compass the entire race, as NONE of the course is marked
Trekking/Running - Good blend of on and off-trail travel, where your navigational skills will be put to the test.
The Schedule....
Saturday, 16 July 2005 at Lodge at Mount Snow, near the main entrance to Mount Snow Resort, look for the Racing Ahead, Inc. banners, and RV.
9am - 11am Pre-Race Clinics - PLEASE pre-register via email, you can pay on Saturday AM, the 16th, space is limited 2-hour Navigation Clinic - $15 per racer

7pm Race Briefing; START location revealed
Sunday 17 July 2005
5am 5:45am Assemble at START

6am Race Director will say GO, and Support Crews hurriedly find their teams and divulge the course. As soon as teams are comfortable with their plotted course, they may take off on the first leg. Support Crews may help with the maps as long as the Support Crew remains in the designated STARTING area.
6pm Race Cut-Off all teams will be at the Lodge at Mount Snow as full course finishers, alternate course finishers, as unofficial finishers or unranked finishers.
7pm Party at The Lodge at Mount Snow - included in entry for all racers, an additional $12 per support, family or friends. MUST PRE-pay at Registration, buffet style sit-down meal and prize giving.
Uh oh......seems the raven "replacement" didn't help the team much. Placed fifth out of six teams??
