We raced this morning at Whistler-- a skate team sprint. The format is a two person teams alternating 1.3km laps, three laps each for a total of six laps.

I love being at the World Cups! My favorite part of the course today was the 200m sign. (This was my favorite part of the warm-up, I certainly didn't have the presence of mind to notice it during the race!) 200 meters to the finish was right before the last turn and marked the separation of the lap lane and the finish lane. Since they kept this part of the stadium fenced off the corduroy here was almost unbroken and wicked fast. The 200m sign was written vertically, like this:

2
0
0
m

but it was written in a modern, angular font so the two wasn't very curvy and the sign looked more like this:

Z
0
0
M

which I thought was appropriate signage.

That's a hoot! Good eye for picking that out. I missed that.

Would have made a nice pic, LAV zooming past the "zoom" sign!
