Oh to be a Novice Again

19

2008

Of course, neither Jeff nor I (Car 10) are novices. Dan and I did our first touring rally in 2002 (No Alibi), and Jeff and I teamed up in 2003 (No Alibi again). Renee and Marinus Damm (Car 20) fill out “Novice” portion of TeamD for the Alcan. And usually not in time to do much correction.

Alcan is very different beast from the standard touring rally that I’m used to. In many ways it does feel like being a novice again, trying to figure out exactly what is going on behind the scenes (for scoring and route instructions). Luckily we’ve got some experienced teammates to help us out. Eric and Steve (Car 4) have done Winter Alcan a number of times and worked in at least one Summer Alcan (possibly more) and Dan competed in 2004.

Our Day 1 scores were okay, but I thought they should have been better.
