Hi,
I think the large images in Walter's last posting are preventing the
message from reaching some of our mailboxes. Therefore, I'm posting
the text below, and I've linked the course maps to the CBC web site
schedule (http://www.coloradobiathlon.org/schedule.html). Enjoy!

Hi CBCers,

   Time to put your thinking caps on...  Our last official race is this
Sunday and in a departure from our schedule, I've decided to shake
things up just a bit.  Instead of running another super sprint (been
there, done that), we'll be racing an Individual. This is a 5-lap,
four-bout event for adults, PSPS, *no extra rounds* and with time
penalties instead of laps for missed targets (time penalty tbd).
Rather than the standard, soul crushing distances of 20 and 15km, for
men and women (resp.) we'll be using the Canadian geezer distances of
10 and 7.5km.  In addition, we'll be using brand new courses
(actually, they're the regular old courses, but we'll be running them
in reverse direction).  I've attached courses maps--the A wave will
race five laps of the red course; the B wave will race five laps of
the blue course; and kids will race either three, four or five laps of
the yellow course depending on age. Pay particular attention to the
range details for each course.  Lots to study before the weekend.

   We'll review the courses and format in detail at the post-zero
racers meeting but, after that, any confusion will be met with stern
rebuke and relentless humiliation.  Should be fun.

   As usual, I'll be running two waves with the hope that racers in one
wave will help out with the other wave.  Any other help, from friends
or family is always appreciated.

Hope to see lots of you on Sunday, and feel free to contact me in the
meantime if you have any questions,
Walter
