watch from any part of the courses, being mindful not to get in the way of
racers.
BBQ
/ Awards: After
the races, (approximately 12:30) parents and racers reconvene at the Hut for a
informal lunch of burgers, salad, and desert, followed by race awards. Medals
will be given to the top 5 finishers in each category in each gender. Following
the race awards, we will be presenting special team awards and certificates to
ALL team members.
A
note to reluctant racers: ALL Devo skiers are encouraged to participate in any
or all these just-for-fun races. The Devo Tri is a super low-key event designed
for first-time racers. No times will be posted, and everyone will be
recognized for their efforts in the long ski season. If your skier is not
comfortable racing at this time, we encourage them to grab a race bib anyway
(kids have been known to change their mind when they see how much fun it is),
and just come out to cheer on their friends and be part of the fun.
See
you there!

and the Devo crew
