Race #1

I want to thank everyone for doing such a great job with waxing today!!! It was great seeing everyone help each other out, true teamwork. I know I was a little distracted with getting uniforms out but from what I saw skis were looking fast. 

RACE DAY
This is really just a race in name. We are going to concentrate on a positive skiing experience tomorrow and use it as a measuring stick for setting goals for the remainder of the month.
Positive experience#1 will start by STAYING WARM! I want to stress layers tomorrow, temps will be around 5! You will want a base layer under your race uniform, then your uniform. You will have warm bulky layers over the top for warm up and cool down post race. Vaseline on the cheeks wouldn't be a bad option tomorrow. 
RACE DETAILS
Released from class at 12:24. Bus departs door 6 12:40. All Jr. High and rookie racers should try to get dressed prior to departure with the early races.
Souths students will be picked up at 12:45 by the doors nearest the tennis courts. See me immediately upon arrival for uniforms.
Arrive at Riverside by 1:00.
Parents can expect to pick students up between 4:15 & 4:30.

I don't expect everyone to race. I'll leave this up to your judgement. If you want to just practice ski between races and experience the first race as a fan of Tech I completely understand. We have only had two days on the snow.
