There is usually about 1.5 hours to walk the course before the runs begin. I try to walk the course at least four times, make a map of the course, study it between walks, and memorize the location of the most important cones in each sweeper and slalom. Of course, it looks different at speed. I need to be closer to the cones in the sweepers and go faster in the fast portions of the course, such as the long slalom on the back side of this course. It is a lot of fun!
