LA, New Orleans RnR Marathon and Half 02-28-2010

[escape]

Steve and I are staying at the Hampton Inn where other WISHers are staying. I can't remember the location off hand.

On another note, don't forget to sign up for a free RnR entry at the expo. I've signed up at various expos and so far, I've won free entries into the Dallas RnR race and the Philadelphia RnR race.

escape, Which Hampton Inn?

I'm staying at the Hampton Inn Garden District (St. Charles). Getting in Saturday around noon or 1 and leaving after I run the half on Sunday. Trying for a sub-1:40

Anyone else bum that they're saying no pace groups?

Looks good Lily.

Heather Lynn I think we are staying at the same hotel. There are also several other ROTErs staying there.

 

[wellesleyprincess]

Thanks Lily!

Can't wait to see you all again!

Anyone know if we find out our numbers in advance like at Disney?

This is my first Rock n Roll race and I'm making a decision on two others depending on how it goes.

Best,
Jennifer

About a week pre-race you will get an email letting you know your waiver is ready to print. I assume they start the same as other RNR races with 1000 runners per corral/wave. So, based on your bib you will know what corral and wave you are in. They start the first wave and push one out about every 60-90 seconds.

John (Space Ranger) & I will be there too. We are also staying at the Hampton Inn on Carondelet.

Fixed up a mistake on the list and should have all to here.

Don't forget to post your events on the WISH Team 2010 event calendar

Hope your training is good. I'm going to try for 8 miles tomorrow. Looking for no ice and outdoor path somewhere.

I soooo want to come for this race, but DH doesn't believe it's appropriate to celebrate a 7 yr old's bday in NOLA.

Happy February 1st!!

Doing some serious planning for New Orleans. One of the interesting things to do is the Jazz Brunch at the Court of Two Sisters in the French Quarter. The brunch is from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. daily and costs $28 per person. We're thinking of doing this on Saturday. Anyone else interested? I'd be glad to make the reservations for a group!
