RnR rocking Providence RI Aug 7th, 2011

[Worfiedoodles]

you put down your predicted pace and then rnr will assign your corral. but based on my experiences that everyone else lies, so if you're honest, you'll be stuck in a corral with people that are least 1-2 minute/mile slower than you. plus the rnr fields seem to be much slower than your average race, so you might want to factor that in too. it's so much easier when races require you to submit proof of time!

Hmmm. Well, that could be good psychologically -- if I'm passing everyone around me imagine how fast I'll feel!

That's good to know about the fields -- my dh will enjoy it if he's finishing faster (in a higher position) than usual.

Thanks!

Two more weeks! Everyone ready?

 

[J3nn78]

I'm excited! Last long run this weekend!

 

[WDWFAN9]

Jim and I are in corral 14. We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon!!

 

[TEK224]

I'll be right behind you. I'm in corral 15.

Are there any plans for a WISH get together? I'm bringing my nephew with me as we're stopping at the NBA Hall of Fame on our way up. I'll get into Providence on Friday morning.

Can't wait to see everyone!

How do you know what corral you're in? This is our first RnR...

Thanks!

I'm in corral 9, with one of my sisters. Our other sister is in corral 13.

I am hoping for a non-humid day!!

Did you receive an email from RnR last week? There was a link to click on that brings you to the Final Race Instructions. You will find your corral there.

I don't think we did, but I'll check our e-mail when I get home. It's possible it got lost in the ridiculous volume of e-mail we get at home!

Thanks!

In the past it has always been on your waiver right by your name. I haven't done an RnR race since their change to Active so maybe this has changed.

Guess I should report our corrals -- dh (Dennis) is in corral 4, I'm in lucky 13!

If it stays cool this could be great. If it doesn't, I'm about to have a very scenic combination run/walk, probably with more walk than run!

Are there any plans for a DISmeet?

Just in case I don't get back on here before Wed. ....

See you all in Providence!

Good luck to all participating in Providence!

It is sad that I must say DH and I will not be participating. I had to cancel flights and hotel.

I will be cheering on everyone and look forward to hearing about all the fun!

This is a real shame, you will be missed! Wish for cool and comfortable weather, overcast would be helpful

A bunch of us WISHers are going to eat at Cassarino's in the Federal Hill area around 4:30pm on Saturday night. I'm going to see if they will take a reservation for a large group. We have ~19 people so far. Anyone else interested in meeting us there? Come join the fun!

Finally ready for this weekend! Ran SF 1/2 yesterday so legs are tired and heavy today, but have a massage scheduled for tomorrow night, so hopefully that'll help.

Just checked the weather and Sat and Sun both have thunder/lightning storms!! Hopefully it won't happen racetime. But overcast would be nice!!

Good luck this weekend everybody!!!

 

[TEK224]

Sorry to hear you won't make it Lily. Bummer.

Susie - did you count me in for dinner at Cassarinos? Just want to make sure. There will be 2 in my party.

Terri - yes, gotcha down for two.

Lily - it won't be the same without you and Ted. We'll miss you guys!

Kim - I bet you're sore! There's lots 'o hills in SF. Maybe you can take it easy for Providence.
