Scott,

Please change my registration from a ground crew to spot tracker.  I am line 119 in men's solo division boat#3750.  I have registered with Kattack

I will have a ground crew but they will not be meeting me at every check point. 

Thanks,

Jason Britt

Scott,

Steve Spenser (boat # 7580) and Philip Purcell have decided to team up as a tandem team in boat # 0717.  Steve sent an email to that effect but the roster hasn't changed.  Our current registration numbers on the solo list are 140 and 132 respectively.  Could you see that your records are changed to reflect the change? Or could you tell me who to call to get the roster corrected.

Our support crew will be John Wachtel. We will also have a spot tracker.  I have registered it under the men's solo division but will get that changed as well.

I had gotten that email request and replied to it asking what you wanted your team name to be.  We list tandems by team name.  Let me know and I'll get it all set up.

Scott,
The name of our team is Strippers.  The name is in reference to the type boats we paddle.  Our ground crew, John Wachtel, phone number is (620) 245-5337.

Thanks for all you do.

Scott,

Boat 0923 (Ginn) please change my status to spot tracker. I've already linked my tracker to the race tracking site.  I will have a ground crew, but this just seems like it has less room for error on reporting checkpoint arrival/departures.

Thanks for all you do!

Whether there is more or less error that way remains to be seen.  It's good that you registered your SPOT in the system.  Remember that you'll now be responsible to check your cell phone every day at 7&7 (7am and 7pm) in case we are having an issue with your tracking. 

The text in system will be very simple.  We tested it with great success at the recent Kawnivore. 

Just to clarify for folks, if your ground crew misses a text or we don't receive it for some reason, all we do is call them and ask for a verbal.  It's a very easy thing.  There won't be any DQs off of this because your ground crew is only a phone call away and we know the intent is to text in but a wrong number or failed send is possible.  But easily remedied.

The likelihood of error is higher on the Spot units.  And then we have to text you on the water.  Which is going to be a hassle for you as a paddler to deal with.

Will do.  Be sure you've registered it at www.kattack.com so we can track you during the race.

Chris,

Cool.  Encourage your ground crew to text you in.  We will view the Spot as your back up method.  Text in will yield more accurate split times and is a better method of making sure you are safe and well. 

For all:  Whatever we have on the roster for you is what we are viewing as your primary means of check in.  Ground Crew is the best option.  The text instructions will be very simple and explained at the safety meeting.  They needn't worry or stress about "messing it up" The beauty of the system is we can text or call them right back if we have a question about anything.  It's far better in this way than the paper/pencil method where we had lots of mistakes from people writing on the wrong line, etc.

No need to register.  You rented it from Track Leaders and it will arrive in your hands all set up and ready for the MR340.  Fresh lithium batteries, too.  You will get some training on how to use it during the meeting.  Then you just turn it on Tuesday morning.

Scott,

Team Jackson needs to make some entry changes. We are combining Team Jackson 1 (#9663) and Team Jackson 2 (#2656) into a 4 person team called "3 Boatacious Blondes and their Dad" (#2656).

In order to get the third blonde, we need to replace Robert Jackson with Claire Jackson of Florissant, MO.

We should be easy to spot on the river....

Yes, you'll probably have a bunch of lonely men's solos drafting.

email me, scott@rivermiles.com and I'll give you the details on what Claire will need to do to get on board.
