Trackleaders.com is once again forging the way and will be tracking the 2011 CTR. If you want to rent a SPOT or you have your own and want to be included on the CTR tracking page, please go to Scott's nifty form page here: CTR SPOT Tracker FormI'll attempt to field a few questions here before they are asked. Q: Is a SPOT required for the CTR? A: Nope, but it is highly recommended. However, if you intend on challenging the course record, a SPOT track is the preferred method of verifying your time.Q: I already emailed Stefan about renting/borrowing a SPOT, do I still need to fill out the form? A: Yes, please!!! Saves me lots of work, especially recording people's 911 contact info...Q: Where do I pick up my SPOT? A: If you are starting from Denver on 8/1, I'll be handing them out from the back of my pickup at the start. Otherwise, PM or email Scott to arrange something.Q: Will there still be a call-in #, and when and where should I use it? A: Yep. All riders (ITT and reverse direction included) can use the call-in # at anytime, from any place on the route where you can actually get a phone (pay or mobile) to work.Q: I don't intend to use a SPOT, how do I sign up. A: There is no registration for the CTR, so you can just show up at the start ready to race!  An email or PM is appreciated but not required. |

I'd like to encourage all the racers to consider sending TrackLeaders some money via the donation button on their website as well. I think we need a donation button for Stefan in there somewhere too.  |

Just wanted to clarify that if we have our own SPOT device, we are paying $20 to Trackleaders to show up on the main track page?

I had to replace my SPOT and have a new unit number (shared page is still the same). Should I fill the form out again with the new information or can I PM the number to trackleaders?

Just a quick note: for now I've turned off the option to rent a SPOT2. We should have more, but until I get more in my hands (coming back from TD racers) only SPOT1 is available for sign up. We have plenty of SPOT1's to go around and hopefully I can turn the option for SPOT2 back on in about a week.
Thanks for the support, guys.

I signed up and paid for the tracking a few days ago. Is there a current list of 'trackees' so I can confirm it all went through ok? Thanks.

Sorry, can answer that myself - just found the Colorado Trail Race 2011 Live Tracker - I'd mistakenly bookmarked the Colorado Trail General Live Tracker page!

I also am not sure if my form got sent in--bad internet connection lately. I thought that it said I would receive and email but didn't and I didn't get the link of the website for payment. So could you let me know if I should do it again and get the link for $ or pay at the start?
Thanks Jarral

Can anyone tell me approximate battery life for a Spot 1 and a Spot 2? Will a set of batteries get me through 7 days or will I be replacing batteries more frequently?

Hey Jarral- Your form data was recorded. You can pay for CTR Spot rentals here: http://trackleaders.com/pay-CTRor you can bring $$ to the start. Your preference. |

Batteries on the Spot 1 will last 7 days no problem. Someone else will have to answer for SPOT II. |

Stefan/Scott, I just submitted the rental form. In order to pay, however, it appears I'd have to have a PayPal account... being the intentional Luddite I am when it comes to financial accounts online, is it still okay if I pay you in cash on Monday morning? Thanks!

I think you can pay using the same link and a credit card -- but w/o an account.
But, yes, Stefan has kindly offered to collect cash Monday morning if that works better for you too.
Thanks.
