Okay, last week was a recovery week. Here is hoping your legs are ready for a challenge. Intermediate plan runners are doing their second 20 miler, and everyone else is running 18. For safety reasons, I pushed the start back to 7:00 a.m. It is too dark right now to put a group our size on the roads. By 10:00 am it should still be under 75.Run Details:
- Day: Saturday @ 7:00 a.m.
- Where: Harris Teeter
- First Carolina State Bank Half: 5 miles
- Novice: 18 miles
- and Intermediate: 20 miles
- Supported: Yes - Three stops of Powerade, Water, and Gels.
- Weather: Forecast
- Put on extra body glide to prevent chafing
- Bring a hat to keep water out of your eyes
- Don't over dress. You can put on a jacket but you will get just as wet from perspiration
- Bring a towel and a shirt so you can change post run
Fluids will be at the tracks (twice) and Co-Ah-Bar. Bring more if you need it.
I'll either run 5 with anyone getting ready for the First Carolina Half, or go 8-10 with any other group and peel off back to Harris Teeter.
ReplyDeleteI'm in for 20...anyone else?
ReplyDeleteJust a quick thought...It is a smart idea to put a few bucks in your pocket (in a zip lock bag so it won't get soaked) on these long runs. During my last 20 I ran out of fuel and needed a Gatorade, banana, or something. I had access to water but I needed more. We tried to "beg" a Gatorade from a convience store to no avial.
ReplyDeleteI learned my lesson the hard way!
I'm in for 5 miles.
ReplyDeleteBring on the rain!!
I plan to be there for the 18.
ReplyDeleteI'm there for 18.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss you this week. Good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteWill you have gels at the tracks or do we need to bring our own? Elaine and I are planning on running 18.
ReplyDeleteMisty
Never mind, I just read the blog again and saw that there would be gels and powerade and water. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteElaine and I may take off a little early if we can arrive there in time. The rest of you will catch up and pass us quickly.

I'm planning on running 18 with Misty and leaving around 6:30. Catch us if you can!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ELAINE!!!!!!!

Thanks Tracy.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there for the 18. Tampa's got to work tomorrow so she's running her's today.
ReplyDeleteFYI...For those doing 20 - The description is missing the turn onto Wildwood at approx. the 10 mile mark.

ReplyDeleteThe 18 mile route directions are missing a right turn onto Hawthorne before the left turn onto Gravely. However, everyone will probably understand it as a given.
ReplyDeleteOn the 18 mile route, the missing turn onto Hawthorne is at approx. the 14 mile mark.
