The Start

[CrazyJay]

Thanks for everyones' input on the starting line. I know many of you were at the preparty and heard the starting line scenario but I'll
re-address some points here.

- Yes, this is going to be a bump and grind start but it won't be as bad as you are imagining.
- NO, there is no system of redress if you tangle kites with someone else. THERE ISN'T ONE IN BORDERCROSS AND THAT'S A 4-5 PERSON HEAT THAT TAKES ONLY 5 MINUTES.
- There are going to be approximately 25-30 riders in the first group. Once the leisure riders step back then these 25 will all condense towards the #1 (furthest south) starting position. If each rider gets 20 feet then this is about 500' of layout.

THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A DISADVANTAGE BUT THOSE WHO KNOW THIS RUN KNOW THAT IT ACTUALLY ISN'T. THE OUTSIDE TRACK IS ACTUALLY BETTER FOR THE BEGINNING. THE NORTHERN RIDERS WILL HAVE THE ADVANTAGE TO THE OUTSIDE REEF.

Most important is that everyone just be safe and careful. Remember guys and gals, this is for fun so enjoy it!
