[CBCmembers] This weekend's sprint race

[Walter Warwick]

I have no problem if folks want to race out of category (provided they're
are racing "up" in category--no fair to let the geezers crush the 3k
munchkins course, as fun as that might be...) but they will be scored within
the category they race. That is, we won't be compiling separate results for,
say, senior women's 10k sprint. Further, for those interested in the USBA
points list and our own humble class championships, those results will be
based on performance in the IOC/IBU/USBA sanctioned categories and
distances.

>> Youth Men and Youth Women will do three laps of the 2.2km course

>> Kids will do three laps of the 1km course.

>> See you Sunday!
