In...

This will be my longest run since recovering from ITB issues, so it should be fun.

I have a number but can't run.  I emailed the RD to see if they could give it to someone on the waiting list but they said they aren't doing that this close to the race.  I don't know if they would entertain the idea of someone taking my number but if anyone wants to try, go for it.  I'm not looking to recoup the registration fee - I just know that this race sold out fast so I imagine there are a few people out there that didn't get in.  PM me if you are interested.

I'm in, but with my recent hamstring issues am not sure how the hills will feel.  Just going out to have fun, I love to trail run and don't get to do it enough.

Anyone in Buckhead want to carpool that morning to save on parking and gas?

I would ask you captain, but you're gonna blow away my time and have to wait around for a while after you're done...

Your a funny man...I may be staying at the park the night before...if not, let's plan on it.  We live about two miles apart.

Looks like the conditions are going to be rough with a few days of rain before the race.  Should make the race fun.

Definitely seems like a "rain shoes" day.  That said, remember to bring a plastic bag to put your shoes in when done with the race. I suspect that they will have a little bit of mud on 'em ...

and to expand on that, maybe a towel or seat cover for your car seats, as i suspect you'll get a fair amount of mud on your legs and torso...especially if you take a tumble at the rumble.

In this case, cold might be good in that if the ground is frozen then it will be less muddy?
