    Hello Friday racers! Here are the details:

    Women qualifier starts at 10:00am, men at 10:40. Course closes at 9:55am.

    Please arrive about 1.25hrs before your start. Check into the team room and pick up your bib there.

    Access to start is via snowmobile lane (beside finish) or around the east side of daylodge (not across the course in the stadium).

    No glide outs on the last downhill like today. There will be a glide out section in the middle of stadium. It can be used all day. Ask alain about the exact details.

    Course will reopen between the qualifier and the heats.

    Qualifying strategy: Of course it’s short race and you have to go for it. But there a fine difference between skiing steady fast and starting fast and burning out. Probably a 3 sec difference between those 2 strategies. We have seen in the past that the best strategy is to start off fast but relying on power to make you go fast for the first 250 meters. This way you will be able to have a high tempo later on the course.

    Heats will start at 12:00pm for women (U20 and seniors) and at 1:30pm for men (U20 and seniors). 4 min heats.

    Awards at 3:30pm for 1-2-3-4-5 (for U20 and seniors) + top U23 (fastest qualifier). Beside day lodge. Please be there if you win an award and represent CNSC or team R.A.D.
