Time Bonus Team Relay(Race #2 of the 6-pack Series)
Posted on March 3rd, 2010
| March 10, 2010 - 6:30 pm - |
On March 10th at training we will conduct a 2 person relay. Start times will be dictated by % back times from Jug Mountain. If you did not do Jug Mountain we will give you a % back and a major penalty for not doing Jug Mountain. Race Director Joe will make the teams.
Race Start: 6:30 sharp.
Each Ski Leg will be 1 lap around Highway/Sappers.
Entry Fee: 6-pack of beer or 2-40oz malt liquor or 4-pack wine coolers. (Per Dr. Fethke: Sparq is highly recommended since it is a malt liquor sport drink. It is thinking like that that gains respect.)
Winners: Top two teams get all of the Entry Fee Alcohol. Sharing with Loozer Teams is highly discouraged!
***Idaho Nordic Members Only***
Race #3 will be March 17th – Matt Newbill is Race Director/Rules Maker.
Race #4 will be March 24th – Philthy is Race Director/Rules Maker.

Course Map: course-map-2.pdf course-map-1.pdf
Driving Map to Blackhawk: map-to-blackhawk.pdf
Everything Else you need to know: info-sheet-2.pdf info-sheet-1.pdf
Warnings from Joe: At the road crossing into Blackhawk when the volunteers tell you to ”SLOW DOWN” it might be smart to listen, this was on the “extreme side of the nordic sports”, and most of you don’t have the moves of Shaun White or Andy Newell for that matter. Remember: knees together, telemark landing to get the highest score.
