SUMMERSIDE, PEI PLAN

I will be attending the Summerside, PEI, Junior Series Race next weekend to support our Ontario Juniors. Athletes are welcome to access some/all of the planned activities, or conduct their own pre-race prep.  I'll be on site race day to support all Ontario athletes, and I'll be available after the race if there are any appeals or other issues. Parents, please e-mail me if you want my cell phone number.  If your athlete is traveling with another family or coach, I would advise you to provide the following info to the person in charge:

• Emergency contact name and phone number(s)
  
• Relevant Medical Info (medications and allergies)
  
• Ontario Health Card Number
  

Here is my schedule for the Summerside race. If you plan on attending the sessions, please advise your coach so they can review this schedule and choose the sessions most appropriate to you.

THURSDAY JULY 31st

Arrive late evening.  I'll be staying at the Slemon Park Inn (the race hotel).  I won't know my room # until I check in, but I will post my contact info and the training schedule in the lobby.
