LOVE this! Embarrassing for me at this stage in life but one experience when younger and more testosterone on board was poaching a race trail w/ a buddy. I got best time of the day for my age group. I was on pow skis, being "Bad" and we did the course as a goof to mess w/ the racers! That's not to toot a horn of any kind, DEF NOT my style... but to say that there are many "Lurkers" that if given a proper push (motivation), support and attention, could be super successful w/in that scene.... kinda like if you want better computer security, hire the hackers thought process ( "PaceMaker" anyone? Pardon the obscure series reference) The part that many don't realize is that "the approach" to that person, needs to be carefully constructed to promote trust.Kudos to the bi-racial soon to be Dad and wishing your baby the best of health. I agree with pchewn regarding open race courses. Even though I coach for a club program, when ever I get some kid or even adult poaching my training course I never kick them off and encourage them to train with us.
Much respect to Shone Malliet/Winter 4 Kids & Constance Beverly/Share Winter
