I was looking at the weather for tonight and tomorrow and it looks like it is going to snow, snow, snow. Wonderful news but causes a few issues for the time trial this weekend.
Several questions...Is it worth driving 2 hours in a snow storm to do a time trial? Will they groom on Saturday morning? Will we be racing in a foot of fresh snow? Is that useful? It's supposed to snow in Laramie so should we just stay and hope for snow and grooming? AHHHHH!
One thought is to postpone the time trial until Sunday morning, since the storm should be mostly through by Saturday evening. That way we can choose the place based upon the road conditions and whether we can ski here.
One thought is to hide on my couch in the basement and watch other people ski on world cup videos. This lack of snow is extremely frustrating as an athlete and an extreme source of stress as a coach!
Everyone do your snow dance!
Hmm, I dig the couch idea, I don't think I'm going to TT anyway, still got a cough.
ReplyDeleteI think a shotty sloppy classic tim trial on what I've heard are quite steep trails in early season would kinda suck.
A date and time change might be difficult since it has been posted on the RNM web site.

We have already made plans to travel to Steamboat to participate in this fun event. We think it is a great idea.
I know I have a lot to do this weekend, so changing plans several times would not be helpful. I think we should just stick with the time trial, just ski in Laramie,or cancel it soon. Moving it to Sunday is not a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to to a time trial, but like many, I have plenty of things to do and I don't particularly want to drive in a snowstorm. And if we can ski in Laramie, that would be amazing. I know it was snowing in Lander this morning.
ReplyDeletei'd like to do whatever we can. unless its snowing like crazy and visibility is non-existant, than i think we should stick with the original plan.
