RE: Treatment of officials and volunteers, general

The 800.com team (RIP) gave me a terrific idea a few years ago for a Team

race policy. It is really simple:



*****Nobody is allowed to speak to ANYBODY outside of the team for 10

minutes after the finish of a race.******



This simple idea allows everybody to calm down, get their heart rates below

100, and generally compose themselves back into rational human beings as

opposed to slavering torqued up animals who just finished a bike race.



Perhaps OBRA should request (or require) a 10 minute "calm down" period

before barking at officials after a race.
