Observations, updates and note to self

• A few people were lost at two points. Both were main trail exiting into smaller one. Add marshals and mark confusing parts more densely
• Decentralized pre-race and admin tasks, particularly purchasing CP food and printing venue labels
• Delegated venue setup and pack up to trail team before and after the event, allowing the admin team to fully focus on race operations
• Start looking into automating payments and registrations. An uphill battle but needs to start sooner than later
• Color code sprinter vs sweeper jackets for easier identification. Get a red jacket for medic
• For future races check the calendar before announcing dates, and start doing more marketing without being lazy
• Now that the pre-race admin stuff is well streamlined, find someone to handle the medals, bibs, waivers, along with doing official stuff like getting ward permissions
• One participant didn't take his phone with him, was out of reach when we tried to contact after cut off time. Reiterate that carrying phones (with charge and credit) is mandatory
• Make download button more prominent on the (new) website
• Create shortlinks for directions, map download by distance, etc
• A couple of people followed old and faded out spray markings. We made changes to the route (which we normally do as required, which in this case was to avoid slippery monsoon trails). Mention during briefing that faded out markings are not to be followed; look out only for fresh spray
