Sounds like a fun group with a fun name. Your trail looks like an amazing place to run! Great pictures. I just bought a pair of the Aspaeris compression shorts and tried them for the first time on an 8 mile run. Is it just me or are they supper snug over the belly? My upper legs felt awesome, but I was a little uncomfortable with how high up on my waist they came. Any tips?AmyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037851599714423746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-61592709128079388482012-02-13T22:00:51.135-06:002012-02-13T22:00:51.135-06:00YAY!

My advice would be: bring baby wipes (when you can't have showers); put fresh change of clothes in ziplock bags and label them....I.e, "after Leg 1," "leg 2 running clothes," "after leg 2'," etc, etc. so you don't have to dig into your bag for stuff; Febreeze; plan ahead what you want to do for meals to avoid indecisiveness on race day...everyone might be too tired to decide and you'll lose precious sleep time; assign one person per van to be the Captain to make decisions when you can't reach agreements...trust me on this....this will save time and friendships! Most importantly, bring your sense of humor and have fun! Feel free to email me for more tips, questions...I was my team's captain! :)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541281876496528189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-2018838320297512242012-02-13T20:47:59.254-06:002012-02-13T20:47:59.254-06:00That looks like fun!

I am not worried about the running, only about the sleeping in the van with 5 other people!Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-76098265882574166562012-02-13T16:28:23.545-06:002012-02-13T16:28:23.545-06:00I *almost* ran that race last year with some of th...I *almost* ran that race last year with some of the girls I ran CC with in HS - then I realized it was the week before we moved out of state. I'd love to run a relay race like that but there is no way I could commit to that and pack up everything we own in the same few weeks, I'd go crazy!<br /><br />Looks like you ladies will be having a blast with your training and racing!Heidi Nicolehttp://www.runaroundaroo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-18300486398079735862012-02-13T16:22:07.400-06:002012-02-13T16:22:07.400-06:00Awesome!

It runs by 6-7 different distilleries in the state. My advice is to try and sleep whenever possible, you might miss someone starting or finishing, but sleep is important! I didnt do that last year bc i wanted to watch everyone, this year though I am going to try to sleep if possible whenever possible! :)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647097716101085543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078779410860350086.post-9864614777403452952012-02-13T12:51:34.473-06:002012-02-13T12:51:34.473-06:00FUN!!
