Start in Driggs, Idaho, 1st turnpoint Huskey (SSW),
then cross the boarder to Wyoming flying over the Grand Teton (NNW),
then heads to Alpine (SSW again), then back to Driggs.
For those who participated on the task test Saturday:
1. I fix the Start height, now it's 11.5, was too low,
2. swapped TP 1 and TP 3, making the last leg the most challenging,
3. shortened a bit (20km) and
4. made the top of the lift 500 ft higher.
It will make task more doable, was pretty tough last weekend.
Congrats T.Hahn, P. Slutes and L.Savoie for completing it without hitting Q.
As I previously mentioned Saturday's night will be the task test, feel free to participate.
See you tomorrow.
