Anything easily identifiable on race day? I think I will be holding a big orange sign, but haven't settled on which sheet of posterboard I'm gonna use for my sign, yet.

Are you trying to hit on us?!!? Tongue

Blue shorts and probably the lucky orange short-sleeved tech shirt from my DxA2 race. Not sure if I'll have a long sleeve tech underneath, but prolly not.

I'mma look like this, most likely (hopefully as exuberant at the finish too!):

Awesome! Orange is always easy to pick out. I wish everyone would wear orange or yellow...those colors don't seem to be as heavily represented as white, black, red, and navy on race courses.

It's late I know, I'll probably go with the gray shirt in my profile with navy new balance shorts.

Thanks for the support Zoom. Smile

Oh, and just so you's all know...I couldn't decide on one sign so I will have about a half-dozen different ones--a new one each time you see me!

Cory (and anyone else!) I'll be out front of the YMCA at about 7:15 - 7:30 tomorrow. It'd be great to meet you before the race if you have a chance.

And Zoomy, my wife will probably want to tag along w/you if we can figure out how to get you two hooked up. Gimme a call on my cell if you get a chance (email has been sent).

Got yer e-mail. Best plan is probably if we coordinate for me to pick her up at the curb, rather than my trying to find parking. It's a complete mess with parking since the race got big (2 years ago it was no biggie finding parking an hour before the race, last year we were there an hour early and the place was already packed).

My car is a maroon/burgundy Mazda 3 hatchback with a zoom-zoom sticker over the top brake light and below that a 26.2. Oh, and a moron driver.

Sounds good, see you in the morning!

Gulp...

I should add that it's busy due to that early start that's available to walkers. I think that was why things were already so crazy when we arrived at 7am. The walkers were starting just as we were pulling in.

Yes. Last year was very busy all around the Y. It was also frickin' cold, just like this year. I'll watch for you Q and I'll keep my fat, bald head uncovered so give me a nudge if you see me pass. I might take shelter inside if its too cold. Good Luck today everyone.
