Thank you Drew!
Question what is the order of the races?

Sprint in the morning, Middle in the afternoon on Sat
Classic on Sunday

We're looking forward to seeing you all! The sun is shining and the cliffs are, well...as big as ever!

The columns on the start time list appear to be ordered Classic (Sun), Middle (Sat afternoon), Sprint (Sat morning) from left to right.

This is ok. However it might lead to missed sprint start times if people just assume they are in event order from left to right when they copy them down in a hurry as they leave the house at 4 AM for the races :). Would it be possible to swap the order on the posted start list? Just a nicety that might help avoid headaches.

Indeed, I had a brief moment of angst when I first read that my sprint start was going to be 08?? on Saturday (we don't arrive until late on Friday night). Then I read the column headings and relaxed.

Funny, Eddie - I just emailed our registration crew right as you posted! There is a new start list posted to the web that reflects the courses in the order that you will run them. Hopefully this is a lot less confusing!

Thanks for the more dummy proof start lists. It would be helpful if if Drew edits his initial post to point to the revised start lists.
