Update: Fewer Mt. Snow Laps

The lap count sheet on the Mt. Snow Nationals site has been revised. Instead of 5 laps, experts are now slated to complete 4 turns on the famous Mt. Snow course. Thank goodness! Lap times on the course are in the neighborhood of 30 minutes (or slightly less if its dry) for Experts. 5 laps would have meant about 2.5 hours or more of racing. That's a long race. I excel in races that last between 1:45 and 2 hours, so the dropping of one lap suits me well. Some good fortune! Now all I need is some rain and cool weather on race day. A little moisture on the roots and rocks would weed out the fair weather racers and play right into my Pacific NW skill set.
