strenuous interval training and continuous exercise.

Lightening
If thunder is heard it is close enough that lightening is a risk. Once lightening has

spectators must seek shelter. Everyone must remain inside 30 minutes after
hearing the last clap of thunder. Kael Ashton along with Mike Everett and/or
Laurie Evans will make the final decision whether safety has been compromised
during a lightening storm
