Good evening Team 1790!
I hope this email finds you well! Baker to Vegas (B2V) 2014 is just a few weeks away. By now you should have your secured your hotel rooms, figured out how you intend to get yourself to Vegas (and back), and have been preparing for B2V 2014.
I tried to break up the info below by who it most applies to, but it is good info for All-Hands.

Runners:
Read the rule book! You are in direct control over how well we do in this race! It is very easy to wear something that is not authorized, forget to bring your ID, not have your Runners Bib in the proper place, etc. All of these simple infractions will get the team penalized. Each infraction has a time penalty that is added to the Team's overall time. Teams have lost out on getting a mug due to penalties! http://bakervegas.com/rulebook
ALL RUNNERS (Primary AND Alternate) need to email JOSH a signed copy of the Waiver & Release form by 24 FEB 2014. Please email the forms to Josue.A.Mendez@Team1790.us
If you paid for fundraiser t-shirts, they are available for pick up at the Base LA-LB Command Building. Please contact CIV Bert Orozco to arrange for pick-up.
Any runner that starts their leg after 1800 hrs, is required to run with a flashing vest. WE WILL PROVIDE THIS VEST. If this applies to you, make sure you are including this added weight / bulk in your training plan.
Keep an eye on the weather. Stay hydrated.

Team Volunteers:
Do I have your most up to date contact info? I sent an email to those that stated they had interest in volunteering for Team 1790. Only 5 people followed up with the information that was requested!
The same goes for the volunteers, Read the rule book! http://bakervegas.com/rulebook
You guys are the ones that are driving on the race course. All of the local law enforcement agencies have been given special "ticket books" to issue penalties to B2V motorist that are caught breaking the law. This is in addition to any tickets that they would normally issue for speeding, DUI, etc.
Take a moment and download the two Stage Maps of Stage 16. The Catcher at Stage 16 will NOT be able to move to Stage 17 in time to catch the runner. Space for parking is limited.
