Anyone else already getting the pre-race jitters?
YES!!!
I've been up multiple times a night feeling anxious and, though I haven't had any race nightmares exactly, I keep having anxiety-ridden dreams about other stuff. This is the l o n g e s t week ever.
I will be the Witch Dr from Princess and the Frog.
Cool, cool, cool!
Hi everyone,
Long time disboarder, but first time to this thread. Wish I would have found this sooner! Just curious if anyone has any tips for a newbie. Can't seem to find a lot of info about night races in particular.
Welcome! My only night race experience was the Expedition Everest Challenge. In addition to what's been said, my tips are:
~ Stay off your feet that day, as much as possible!
~Don't slack off on pre-hydrating in the hours before the race.
~ It's much harder to see dips/bumps in the pavement and random stuff (bushes, posts, etc.) along the sides of pathways in the dark. Be aware and slow down some as necessary. I may or may not have collided with the arm of a stray bench.
i have no costume.....so bummed!!
Me, neither - you won't be alone!
Everyone's leaving before me, NOT FAIR!!!!
I won't get there until late morning Saturday!
Good luck all you TOT runners. It would be great if you would post about the Expo and the race.
I, for one, promise a full recap in my blog, post-race!

Did my final short run last night... pain free again!!!
Nothing to do now but finish packing and wait...
Wishing everyone leaving before me (which I'm pretty sure is EVERYONE, lol!) safe travels and a fun trip! See you at the race
