Ragnar Relay - Cumberland to DC (Page 10)

I have dirt on site

Also have some half-burned wood (charcoal) in the fire pit which will make good soot stains.

Don't have fabric pen or blood-making ingredients (I've done karo + food coloring before in theater but that was to simulate blood, not blood stains on clothes).

Thanks to those that have RSVPed.  Anyone who hasn't that's coming please do so... though you can also make a last minute decision to show up without an RSVP.

Word on the street is that one of the die hard movies will be playing in the background too.

Me and Kim will be there. I might try to hit the new Halloween store close by to look for some fake blood.

Don't worry, I've got the blood under control (fake of course )  Edit: I have the puffy paint for the shirts and the shirts too.

These quotes are great!!  Can someone compile a list of all them from the thread, print out a few copies, and bring them to the HH?

Another day in paradise.
Sexy, right?
It's a little thing they invented back in the sixties called 'jogging'. You're gonna love it. Come on
You know, chicks dig scars.


This should be a good start. I tried to keep out the ones with a lot of profanity.

I posted this a while back...

Sorry I couldn't make it guys.  Had every intent, but when we got home from x-country had to feed the kids and get them into bed (the wife has a running club obligation on Thurs. nights as well).  By that time it was after 8:30 and I would not have gotten there until well after 9.  That's just too late.

Hopefully you had a decent turn out and finalized some stuff.  Just let me know if anything new has been decided.

Dont worry,Rick...all is good.
Just gives us something to harass you for.(haha)
Good turn out and Mr josh had some good stuff to munch on.

Josh- Thank you for letting us dirty up your patio.  Enjoy the brew me and george left for ya!

To everyone else, good time last night and looking forward to the race.
Talk soon!
Andy

Less than a week away. I can't wait!!

Rick - I sent you an email with the info from happy hour.  let me know if you have any questions and we'll see you friday!!!

It's almost go time

Just saw that an update to the course was posted. It looks like 11 legs have changes.

Dang! I can't believe they did all that!! Now I'm running the longest leg!! 10.3 for my first leg (instead of 8)!  and I have to update the spread sheet!!!!

Well, like my shirt says.. "It seemed like a good idea at the time"

!!!! (just a few more for good measure)

I love it... "I have to update the spreadsheet..."

Like you won't enjoy it!

Too late to change order?  I said I would do the longest/hardest legs as you felt necessary.  Still willing to do that.

Edit:  See they increased leg 2 of my run from 3 miles to 4.8.  So I'm still scheduled to do the most overall (22.9).  That works.

Okay Van 2 - I hope you are ready for this... they've added 10 miles to the course - and all of it is van 2!  Now instead of van 2 being the "easy van", it's the "hard van" - with more climbing AND more miles.

All I have to say is Josh and Andy - it's a good thing you've been running trails... 

And me.. well I won't be running 8:45s for over 10 miles knowing I have 2 more runs to do within the following 18 hours.

It also sets us back over an hour...

Now I feel really sorry for that 2 man team Scott was talking about...

I'll send out the updated spreadsheet tonight.

LOL! thanks for calling me out... sadly, I enjoyed it greatly

We still have our 2 fastest runners on the longest cumulative distance.  Andy and Josh just added about 400 ft of climbing and 3 and 5 miles total (respectively).

We can definitely re-arrange as we see fit - but we need to decide BEFORE the race (so I can update my spreadsheet ).

The only changes to the extremes of each leg were that now I have the longest distance single leg and Josh has the most climbing in the middle of the night - as well as a longer distance.

I'm fine with doing the extra distance .. I built up to 41 miles last week and a long run of 16 so I should be okay doing the extra distance - I just wish it was the last leg for me so I could treat it as a half-marathon pace run (which I still might do.. we'll see).

Josh, Andy - Let us know if you guys are okay with the changes.

will see y'all out there.. I will be crewing for the 2 man team.. so root em on .. team name Inglorious Bastards

That's just brutal.  Good luck to them.

I just checked my email. Where is the new spreadsheet!!??

She's still color-coding it and adding glossy 8 x 10 photos.

Did they not update the maps yet? It still shows us finishing in front of the Capitol... kind of interested how they are going to get us to RFK.

No problem here.  Clydesdales float up the climbs!

Josh, i hope youre right.
With my last leg going from 3.6 to 8.8....im gonna need all the help i can get.
I hope no one is expecting any stellar times from me on that leg!
talk soon!

WTF?? When was the team captains meeting?? I didn't get an email about it...

Patience Steve! (and check your inbox)
