Geoff leaves Sunday for a 10 day camp in Korea.
His first race will be the 1500m prelims on Aug. 30th at 11:20 am Korea time (I believe they are 16 hours ahead of us). So if my calculations are correct that would mean 7:20 pm on the 29th here.
After that, the semi-finals are on Sept. 1st and finals are on Sept. 3rd.
Here is the schedule: Timetable
