More PA Challenge info
I'll try to keep these updates to a minimum so as to not be identified as a "spammer" but I thought you all might find this tidbit from race manager Jerry Lyons to be useful.
While hanging some controls this past weekend Jerry discovered that the stinging nettle is out. And it's apparently pissed at us. We'd suggest long pants (kevlar would be optimal, but synthetic trekkng pants will still be helpful). In my time racing through nettle I've found that long pants, quick movement and a full arsenal of colorful language are the best tools when dealing with the stuff. Those of you that are especially sensitive to plants and such might want to bring a couple extra antihistamine pilss, although usually this stuff fades after an hour or two.
