~ IMPORTANT: Last training run on the Bulldog course, two runners did not write down their vehicle license plates so they were MIA. The last run before that, one person signed in and decided to go past the turn-around time! ITS VERY SIMPLE PEEPS; PUT ALL YOUR INFORMATION LEGIBLY ON THE SIGN-IN SHEET. PLEASE BE SURE I CAN READ THE NUMBERS/LETTERS. IF YOU WANT TO RUN BEYOND THE TURN-AROUND TIME, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SIGN-IN SHEET!
~ REMINDER: It is rattlesnake season!
~ If the snake is relaxed... on a fire road, leave 8-10 feet of clearance to pass the snake. If there is no room to pass, keep a distance of 8-10 feet and give a couple of squirts from your water bottle on the tail end of the snake. Snakes naturally avoid water and will usually just slither away. Do not antagonize, poke or throw rocks at a snake!
~ If the snake is poised or rattling... Leave it alone!
