Dear CBCers,<div><br></div><div> It's not over yet...Our last race of the season will be held next Saturday, March 13. Despite my earlier threats to run a full-distance Individual, I have suffered a moment of weakness and opted to run races that conform to the all-but-homologated US Masters distances of 15km for men and 10km for women (actually, they both flirt with the IBU variance cap of 5% of nominal distance, but who's counting?). As we did last year, we will be circulating contrary to our usual clockwise courses. I've attached maps and range details and we'll review the courses during the racers meeting, but feel free to contact me in the meantime if you have any questions (I'll update everyone with course color information after I coordinate with SMR). Also, a reminder that the shooting sequence in the Individual is Prone, Stand, Prone, Stand with time penalties rather penalty laps assessed for each missed target. In this case, the time penalty will be 45 secs to keep it in rough proportion to the reduced distance while still hewing to the spirit of a more punitive penalty for missed targets.</div>
<div><br></div><div> The schedule has been posted on <a href="http://www.coloradobiathlon.org">www.coloradobiathlon.org</a>. Note that we will be running only a single zero period for both waves, so please be efficient and considerate of your fellow racers. We will soon have online registration available as well. As always, we strongly encourage pre-registration and, as an added inducement, wave preference will be given to pre-registrants over race-day registrants.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Curse this warm weather! and hope to see lots of you next weekend,</div><div>Walter, CBC President</div>
