Many of you already know this, but don’t be late. If your intended DNS is not brought to the instructor(s) attention, here’s what happens:

For every five minutes you are late (not at the start point with your gear laid out according to the rules), the rest of the team will do 38 burpees.
This will continue to occur every 5 minutes until you arrive or the team has done 150 burpees.
- If the team has reached 150 burpees, you are considered a DNF and will not be eligible to get your patch at the end.

So plan ahead. Plan for getting a flat tire, traffic jams, your carpool buddies being late, filling up the tank, taking time for breakfast, dealing with nervous explosive diarrhea, etc. Have. A. Plan. The purpose of this event is to get you into the right mindset into some events that will DNF you because you are literally single-digits away from a cutoff or having a minor infraction to the rules. If you let the instructor(s) know that you’re going to be late, everybody else is still going to be doing burpees until you arrive anyways. So to fix that…. don’t be late.

(and if you’re early you can do challenge #8 with everyone!)
