Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon (Page 5)

I'm wondering how acurate those forecasts are for the weekend.  It was supposed to rain here yesterday and didn't.  It's supposed to rain this evening so we'll see if they're right.  If it does rain in VA Beach I hope it'll be gone come race day.  Last year the weather was great for the race!

From what I've heard in Richmond, most of the rain should be Wednesday - Friday and then scattered storms on Saturday and Sunday.  They are also expecting it to be cooler this weekend (mid-80s).  So far, they're right. It's starting to rain now. 

So are we going to try to meet up under the letter B after the race??  Maybe I can make a sign to hold so we can recognize each other. 

I'll probably be wearing my Iron Girl hat and have my Garmin 305 (aka personal lap top computer) strapped to my wrist in the race so look for me.

I may be down to my bra and panties if it is hot!

seriously, I will have a black 'all3sports' visor, black shorts, black sports bra and maybe a white tank. I will be the shortest person oh and I will be there singing my guts out with my ipod!

Steph and I will show up for OWS, if I chicken out I will watch you all from the sand and just bake in the sun.

So can we grab the food/beer then go to the B??? It looks like folks will be finishing between 1:30 - 2:30 hrs (runnergirl is pacing for steph and I and we are shooting for 2:15...yes we are steph I don't want to hear your sob story!)

I'm still planning on doing the OWS.  I'll show up and if it's that bad we could always go out for breakfast or something instead.  A little rough water won't hurt me, unless there's a severe undertow or current or is really dangerous- then you can count me out.  But...swimming in choppy water is good practice.  You never know what the conditions on race day will be- a good example of this was St. A's this year.

I am thinking about writing "BT" on my calf for the race- anyone else?  Just in case anyone is looking for me.  And I'll be waiting at the letter B after the race.

And I'll be dragging Renee into the water for the OWS if it's not dangerous - (If you start drowning, I can practice my very rusty lifeguarding skills. And I won't give you a sob story about how my legs are gonna fall off).

Meeting by the "B" sounds good. At the CMM, we all got separated. 'Course, we'll only be doing 13.1 this time. Whoohoo! See y'all there! (And I have no idea what I'm wearing).

I am still planning on swimming on Saturday.  My husband is going to join us, too, so the two of us will be there.

I was thinking about writing 'BT' on my calf, too.  Then you can figure out who I am when you pass me.    Otherwise, I'll see everyone at the 'B' after the race.

I can't wait! 

Praying for a heat wave

Just to let people know (out of towners).  Since the weather is Nasty right now (7 am on 9/1), if you are driving in from the North and want/need to stop, you're welcome to crash at my house.  I'm before the HRBT (Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel) and about 45 min - 1 hr from the beach.  Traffic will potentially be Nasty so I can even have people stay over.

We have 2 extra bedrooms and 2-3 couches.  So if you need to stop because of traffic, weather, or any other reason, Call me.

PM me if you're remotely interested/plan ahead.

It was pretty bad this morning.  According to Doug, it's "just sand", though.   

Sorry I missed everyone for the swim...I opted for some yoga instead.  I heard the ocean calmed down a lot and was "glassy" rollers by late morning.  The weather sure did clear up nice by around noon.  I was loving the mid-60s this am but it looks to be low 70s at the start tomorrow...not too bad.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
