This Sunday is the David Kincaid Memorial a.k.a. I-90 Race at Summit West.  The race will be a GS and will be on the run we typically train on under the Pacific Crest Chair.  Check-in and day of registration will be located on the lower level of the lodge under Rosita's starting at 7:30.  I would suggest getting to the mountain a at least 1/2 hour earlier than usual so you will have extra time to check in.  Please meet your coach at the usual meeting spot at 8:45 after you have already checked in and wearing your bib on top of the layer you will be racing in.   

Groups will be slightly different since the race is run in order of age.  Coaching assignments are listed below:

• J-6s (born 2003 and younger) MP and Rosie
• J-5s (born 2001-2002) Sydney and Zach
• J-4s (born 1999-1000) Sarah

Once inspection is over the coaches will stay with the athletes until they are in the start gate.  Lisa will be at the finish to make sure Devo athletes find their parents and know the schedule for the rest of the day.  The J-6s and J-5s will have time for a lunch break after their run but the J-4s may need to go back out for 2nd run inspection after their run and then grab lunch after 2nd run inspection (Sarah will tell you when to meet back out).  Coaches and athletes will meet for 2nd run inspection at 11:50 at the bottom of the PC lift  (subject to change based on the actual start time of the 2nd run).  After the second run (youngest to oldest within age group in reverse order), athletes are free to ski on their own or with their parents till awards which will be 1/2 hr after the finish of the race.  

 Schedule:

  8:30am     Lift Opens for Athletes

  8:45am     Inspection Run 1

10:00am     1st Run Start

12:00pm     Inspection Run 2

  1:00pm     2nd Run Start

It is possible to walk to the bottom of the course from the base area.  Parents are welcome to watch from the finish or alongside the course outside of the rope.  If your child needs clothes carried down, please allow the coach to help them take off their outer layers and be available to carry their coats and jackets down to the finish for them.  Coaches will also be able to carry down clothes but you will have to wait till the end of the age group for them to come down.  If your pass is attached to your coat, make sure it is taken down for you so that you will be able to ride the lift back up.  

Please have your athletes get a good nights sleep and a nutritious breakfast before the race.  If you have any other questions about Sunday, please feel free to email me.  See you all  on Sunday for an exciting day!
