CAPTAIN UPDATE #1 *July 21, 2011
To our beloved Red Rock Team Captains,
It is about that time! Don’t worry, don’t stress.... just get ready to enjoy yourselves
while running the most spectacular scenery Utah has to offer.
This is the first of FOUR captain updates that you will receive between now and race
week. We are compiling them based on athlete questions we receive and the latest
race information. Hopefully we can meet most of your needs as they arise over the
next few weeks…. Here we go!
________________________________________________________________________
1. FACEBOOK
Its our home away from home. ”Like us” to get all the updates, find team members,
and brag about your overall awesomeness!! We used to have an online forum through
the website but it never got used, so www.facebook.com/redrockrelay it is! Yes,
Zuckerberg is taking over the world.

2. TEAM MEMBER REGISTRATION
As a captain it is your responsibility to have each of your team members register on
IMAthlete.com by the pre race check-in, if you have members running who HAVE NOT
signed up yet on Imathlete.com, THEY WILL NOT GET A SHIRT until after the race. We
have tried desperately to read your team members minds for shirt sizes to no avail, so
unless they sign up, we cannot know what size shirt they want/need.
*Remind your team members that they only need to sign up as a "team member" and
not as a “captain”, (unless they want to buy some sweet RRR gear) Also PLEASE make
sure they register for the correct team name !!!!

3. REGISTRATION DATES TO REMEMBER
*Aug 20th Last day to change your team name. PERIOD! NO TANTRUMS PLEASE...
*Aug 20th Last day to change your 10k pace time (which determines your Start time)
NO sandbagging here... if you dont know what sandbagging mean WE LOVE YOU ;)
Sandbagging Definition: if you say your team is slow but you are way fast (because you
wanna start early and finish early)...plan on being asked/forced to wait at an exchange
as the course will not be open if you get ahead of the set up crew. We may also give
you “angry eyes” OR if you say you are fast (because you wanna start later) and you
are slow, plan on being asked/forced to skip legs as the course clean up crew may be
yapping at your heels and the finish line closes at 8pm

5. VOLUNTEERS
Because we have such great local support from Southern Utah residents, each team is
required to bring ONE volunteer for ONE SHIFT... the shifts range from 3-5 hours
depending on location. The sign up information will be coming to you in the next few
weeks. You CAN DONATE your way out of it for $99 which will go to local
organizations ie youth groups, college clubs etc, who will then will provide volunteers.

6. TEAM ROSTERS
As captain if you want to log in and see WHO has/hasnt signed up for your team go to
the Imathlete link and search by Team. All teams that have been added are in
alphabetical order. Once the captain selects the team name, they will see everybody
who has signed up. That's it!
Train hard, Pick your matching outfits, Fight over legs, Lose those last few p
