[Xastir] OT: Ultramarathon runners

[Tom Henderson]

We've used APRS to track a "caboose" cyclist in a triathlon. The job of 
the cyclist is to stay behind the very last competitor so that we know 
(1) that we haven't lost track of any cyclists and (2) we have some idea 
od when and where roads can be reopened or traffic restrictions removed. 
We had a portable iGate at the race site, and a digipeater at the far 
end of the course, and my home iGate was able to see beacons from parts 
of the middle of the course and from the digipeater. We didn't have full 
coverage of the course, but it was good enough to keep track of the 
caboose.
