We had a great turnout for the first Alberta Cup of the season on the Boulder Run below the Old Man Dam. Everyone was excited for winter to be over and we were treated with the best weather!
A big thank you to the volounteers who turned out to help judge the race and compile the results. Also, thank you to Matt and Sam for doing a great job of coaching!20degree weather and hardly a breath of wind made for a great weekend of training and racing. Everyone seemed to have improved from last season, through offseason training and pool sessions. I'm excited to see how a month of on-the-water training will improve everyone for next month's race on the Kananaskis.
RESULTS from Alberta Cup 1 in Pincher Creek.
Provincial Team Standings - There is a series of formulas that get to the standings results (can be found in the program section). Basically your time is compared to the fastest on the day, and then there is a conversion factor depending on which class you are in. In order to be on the A-Team, you must get two A-Level percentages. On the far right you will see which team you are on now, and if you have one A percentage or not. Train Hard!
