A.24.12 REFRESHMENTS: On each course refreshments consisting of at least<br />
potable water shall be provided at least every 2.5 km. Refreshments shall be<br />
provided at the start and finish and at appropriate control flags and indicated on<br />
the description sheets as such. At least 0.25 liters (8 oz.) of water shall be<br />
available <strong>for</strong> every competitor at each refreshment stop. Because fairness requires<br />
