Michael - Mine's available if you are talking about going to Hampton, and if you don't mind that I will be finishing later due to the 20 vs. 13.1. And you won't have to jump. I will come to a complete stop so you don't hurt yourself for the race. I have room for 3 more if people don't mind being tight.

L- I am up for the Y at 0700 if that works for you. I am just glad to get the ride. If you decide to scratch that for one of the other many options just let me know so I can re-adjust. Thanks Michael

Talking with Rick, Greg and Michael we made a tentative plan about the half marathoners meeting at Shaw;s Pkg Lot in Sanford at 8:30 on Sunday and plan to take two cars. One for half start line, other for casino. The proposed plan is to drop one car at Casino and then all travel to half start. Rick is concerned about rain and having to wait outside for two hours for start of race if we use bus. After race we would run to casino and pick up car. Can this work for Lance?

Thanks, Lance, for creating this site. Yes, as you noted, I am doing the half, and I am looking for someone who is planning to run a 7:15 pace. If I have a pacer/coach to run with, I will have a chance of qualifying for Corral B in Chicago. As an incentive, I will pay the entry fee for anyone who is capable and willing to run a 7:15 pace with me for the half. Please spread the word! -Greg McCullough, 651-2770

Hello everybody, It sounds like thing are working out. I talked to Paul B. today. He is going to be the designated driver and not race. He said he could offer services(such as a change of shirts during race) if he knows what. So, Laurie who is going to pace Lance, Lance, and Kristen seem to be doing the 20. I think they can stay in the Traip Academy gym if it is raining or in Paul's vehicle. Michael, Greg, Tall Dave, and I will meet at the Shaw's parking lot at 0830 and drive directly to Wallis Sands State Park. That way we will have someplace to get under cover if it is raining. I'll ask Paul if he can take one or all to the State Park after the race.

Rick - I don't mean to be dumb (I guess I can't help it). Am I NOT supposed to go to Hampton? Is Paul driving us all the way back to Traip?

Saturday Night: Rain likely, mainly after 2am. Cloudy, with a low around 36. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. Sunday: Rain. High near 51. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Sunday Night: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 37. Chance of precipitation is 50%. UGH... At least we won't get too HOT!

Hey kids...so many worries...so little time... Bring a hat & large trash bag...or cheap/thin throw away pancho...works for rainy marathons. For anyone taking the bus...there will be a bag-check...so you will have dry clothes at the finish no matter when you finish...not sure if this option is available to all or not...anyone know? Note: Doubling back to the Ashworth is an option for those wanting a cool-down after the half...maybe 2-3 miles?? Temps sound decent...rain shouldn't be too cold...suggest wearing dry-fit socks though...if you have them... I'm still nursing my hammy, but if the 4-miler goes well on Sat....may still plan to be at the half. Good luck to all...
