That’s all you pay, FOREVER. Go get it now. Just remember to turn it on before the race. No GPS to turn in and forget to pick up. The app does use a lot of battery when it’s running, so be sure your phone is fully charged.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You can get a nice waterproof box for your phone at REI. Ask me tonight if you want to see it. Otherwise, put your phone in a small ziplock bag. Close it tight. Put that bag into a bigger ziplock bag. Close it tight. Toss it in the lazarette and go race.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Attention Pete Ice: Be sure you record the exact start and finish time of each race so the race committee can create the race on the computer.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Carmella Foster<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Call me for free on Skype: carmella.foster.mn<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
