Mallory and Hoosier, this looks like a generous slate of swims at a beautiful venue. I read through the event packet - thanks for all the detail! - and have a few additional questions.
- 10K escorts: mandatory, optional, or prohibited?
- 10K feeding station: is there one?
- The section on Safety Procedures reads as follows:Swimmers are required to wear the cap provided at any time during the warm-up, competition, or warm-down will be removed from the water and scratched from competition.
I think a couple words may be missing in that sentence, but does this mean if, say, my cap inadvertently falls off in the middle of a race (some folks wear goggles under cap), I get DQ'd?
- In re: the section on Athlete Attitude, will race officials be empowered to issue "yellow cards" & "red cards"? I have seen this in national and international-level competition, but not in Masters. I'm almost a little intrigued by the idea of getting a yellow card. So edgy!
- Finally... "Swim for Kid's Sake" or "Swim for Kids' Sake" ? Just in case you haven't printed the t-shirts yet...
