Lessons Learned 2009 <br /> Overall the 2009 event planning was solid and the event was successful. We will <br /> however make a few adjustments based on 2009. <br /> 1. Contingency Planning: <br /> Following the guidance of Sgt Russ Blanck, CLPD, we had and used a written pre - <br /> coordinated contingency plan. We modify that contingency plan to be better <br /> prepared for medical emergencies including appointing an alternate race director. <br /> 2. Hot Weather <br /> We are going to start the day with our hot weather plan in effect. We will add a <br /> third water station near mile marker four (4). We will also have a cooling station at <br /> the finish line. (covered area and misters). If we can find the tents - we should <br /> have a shade cover for the timers and for registration. <br /> 3. Registration <br /> The volunteers did an excellent job with race day registration especially with <br /> the move from the parking lot to the community center. I still feel this is a weak <br /> area. We will plan on all race packets to be picked up on race day morning as well <br /> as walk -up registrants. We need better signs for race day and a pre - arrange layout <br /> of the registration area. We also should have an information table. <br /> 4. Signs / Markers <br /> In 2009, I was reluctant to buy more signs. That was an error. We need better <br /> signage to advertise the race, for race day parking and registration, and as mile <br /> markers on the course. The balloons, which I thought were such a great idea last <br /> year, failed completely. <br /> Pat Branch Page 7 <br />
