    But as I lay horizontally on the side of the road, that 8 looks a lot like infinity.

      I just noticed that ZG is a point-to-point with a "we don't give you a ride" policy.  As I don't feel like doing an accidental hundred (much less an intentional one) and don't much like feel like bribing a crew, ZG is off my list.  Now to look at OP50.

       

      Back to Umstead!

       

      I did it last year.  There was some sharing of rides, etc.  Just gotta find someone.  A lot of folks stay at the Best Western and I think find rides like that.  I agree, though, a shuttle would be nice.

          So, Trent, is your training nowadays focused on imitating the latter parts of a 100 -- that is, feeling really miserable and beat up?

          It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

          Beware, batbear...

            All right Trent, A1, Buzz - looks like I'm in for pacing if you need a helper.  Pretty stoked about it, actually!

                You go through the effort to put oh no in there but you can't log 1/8?

                    correct.

                        Haven't booked flights yet, but will arrive Friday morning and meet up with local pilot friends for lunch.

                        Will likely fly out on Monday morning.

                         

                        Staying at the old Hampton Inn (previous "official" hotel), now a Comfort Inn & Suites. (Just can't see paying the other rates when I mostly won't be there.)

                         

                        Probably will do race check-in on Friday afternoon, return for the briefing, but not stay for dinner.

                          The week leading up to Saturday is spring break for my kids so we're driving up and getting in a few days early.  Staying at the embassy suites they recommended.  While I'm jogging around in circles my wife and kids will probably be lounging by the pool.
