Re: CrossAflixion Cup - race info! (Course Update)

Howdy cross racing fools,

Due to deeper than expected snow, we reduced the course to 1.2 miles in
length otherwise the laps would be just a bit too brutal with very long lap
times..
The below link is to a quickly whipped up google map, please note the
parking spots set aside for the race. I would like to request that you do
not park below the skating rink as we would like to keep that open for those
coming to ice skate. (we should have signs up in the morning)

I also noted the registration building, start finish, barriers etc.

A lower rez version of the course is on the crossaflixion facebook group
page.

We are trying to get a snow blower together tonight to see if we can make
the snow a little less brutal since it started snowing when we left and
could get up to 5 inches tonight.

See you tomorrow.,
Brent
