Scot & I walked the course on Tues. evening, and I came back with 8 woodticks on me! (Scot had none; They must prefer the young, sweet ones.)
So, if this rain doesn't drown them out...The grass field will be mowed for the race, so that area shouldn't pose a problem; but anyone who is out riding or marshalling should watch out for these little buggers. If anyone knows of a great repellant that won't sweat off, let's hear about it.
