Preview PPP

The PPP Preview 
 
Just like you take your Pre-SAT before you take the SAT, it's time to prep the PPP with the Pre-PPP Nordic Race!  
 
Join MBSEF and the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center for this fun and funky test of skills on May 3rd at 10AM. The start and finish will be around the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Lodge. The course (see the map, you will be tested because remember, this is a prep course), is mainly the same as the PPP course. The access from the bottom of Red Chair to the Nordic Trails will not be available, so instead we will start at the Nordic Lodge and go over the top of Blue Jay's. The distance is a bit shorter, but the effort should be greater. 
 
The Details: 
Saturday, May 3rd at 10 AM 
Start/Finish at the Nordic Lodge 
Register at Webscorer.com – $10 registration 
Trail Pass must be purchased at the Nordic Lodge (if you don’t have a season pass) 
 
 
 
In the spirit of getting ready for the transition from Alpine, to Nordic, to Bike this event has a few unique rules: 
 
To practice the transition from Alpine to Nordic the start will be La Mans style, meaning that you will place your skis and run from the start to your skis, clip in, and ski off. 
Practice knowing the course: it will be marked with directional arrows at intersections but there will be no V-boards or fencing. Prepare ahead and study the map. 
To practice the transition to the bikes, when you come to the finish you must take your skis and poles off and run and get on the “bike” (provided for you, hint: a chair, no need to bring your own bike). You will have finished the race when your rear touches the seat.   
We recommend that you take this opportunity to also practice your transitions: wear a helmet to practice for the legs where you must wear a helmet or practice transitioning into your bike gear if you are doing the bike leg too. 
Take advantage of this opportunity to ski the Nordic course in preparation for the big event!  We hope to see you out there!
