Are You Ready for Boot Camp?

I know that you all are just as excited as we are, and in the midst of your excitement, and stressing about packing, and freaking out about teams, and hoping you get to the airport on time or praying that your car doesn't get a flat tire - you might forget some details.

Dress Code and Packing List

A few weeks ago, we posted a blog about the Training Camp dress code and packing list. If you need a little refresher, here it is again.

The dress code is not a suggestion. You will be expected to adhere to it at all times in preparation for what is expected on the field. 

WR Swag

Don’t forget! There will be WR swag for sale at camp that you don’t want to miss! 

Travel Plans

In the past, we have seen a number of racers change their end-of-camp departure plans before the last day, which leads to wasted time and resources. Our dedicated training staff plans and pays for adequate transportation for those who request it. Please be a man or woman of your word and stick to your original plans.

Food Allergies & Preferences

While we understand that our bodies are built differently, the reality of the mission field is that you will rarely have much control over what is available for you to eat. You will be served a variety of dishes overseas, and unless you have a serious food allergy, declining to eat a dish can be seen as offensive.

If you have a food allergy or intolerance listed on your Medical tab, we will make accommodations for you at training camp. However, food is ordered weeks in advance, and if you do not inform us of these needs in advance, you will be expected to eat the food served, or make do.  

If you are vegetarian: While not all main dishes will involve meat, several will. In these cases we will NOT serve separate vegetarian meals, as food preferences will not be accommodated. Just like on the race, you will need to make do with what is served.

*IMPORTANT!*  

Beginning at Boot Camp, 6/16/2021, you will be fully responsible for any costs incurred on your behalf for your trip. These costs include plane tickets, boot camp expenses and other set up costs. This means that, if for any reason, you do not launch with your squad, you will be financially responsible for these costs.

See SO you soon!!
