January 28th 2015 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Organizers: Ben Smith (Event Director), Karen Lachance (Membership), Rachel Howard (Membership), John Rance (Coach)
Map: Jericho Beach
Description
Come and explore all the changes that have been taking place in Jericho Beach Park! There is new landscaping near the old wharf, and lots of changes in the forest area (less green, more white!). Get ready for the Sprint Camp weekend with these courses that are full of twists and turns. Courses are standard point-to-point races, and have been designed to visit all the new areas.
If you want a specific training goal for this session, make sure to practice your control flow - especially towards the end of the race. You have been warned!
