Day 10 - pursuit prep

So Thursday, rest day for the Juniors, of course slept in and had some good gaming time. Like last rest day they didn't send us enough buses to get to the race site but we only had to wait 15m and we ended up getting there before the first bus, even with a few minor delays.
Practiced a few exchanges once we'd had our skis moved twice because they couldn't make up their minds where they wanted the boxes. Feeling quite confident about the change over and hoping to get a good position leaving the exchange zone.
After talking with Graham we've decided on some tactics, there are 85 starters and I'm going out row 6 pretty much right in the middle so not great. Plan is to ski with the pack, around 35th, then when the skate portion comes around basically the course is just short climb out of the stadium, little flat and then long hill to the top of the course and then straight back into the stadium... 4 times... so each time up the climb just go like hell and float up, pass a few each time and tuck in behind for the long downhill.
Time for me to hit the hay now. Its gonna be good tomorrow!!!
