Curious what people racing think about this....specifically hydration zones without lost time. I'm
all for safety but if it's an endurance race I don't think it's fair to those that don't stop who trained and do well in the heat. I like it as an option and safety valve but your clock should still run. There also isn't any max allowable time....how long can you hang out here?
From Roger Norman
"A rancher has allowed us to use a route for the first time that makes it so there is no two way controlled speed traffic on the highway. When you receive the GPS route before pre-running starts you will see this new never before raced section that a land owner has graciously allowed us to use. There will be a hydration station that racers will be able to stop at and their race time will stop until they resume racing. Same as the rule for stopping to help another participant who may have injuries. It is only to be used for hydration. No working on equipment will be allowed.
