Shamrock 5 Logistics


The race starts at 1:15pm on Sunday in downtown Baltimore...BUT we need to get there no later than 11:30am in order to pick-up our number (packet pick-up closes at 11:30 and they make no exceptions. In fact it is worth it to sit around and watch what happens at 11:31 when angry runners try and argue their way into packet pick-up).

Because something always goes wrong, I am leaving Fox Den in North Bethesda no later than 10:00am...get to B'more by 10:45am, park and get to packet pick-up well before it closes. Then I'll hang for 45 mins and warm-up. I am going to go toat a Falls Road Running event postrace where Ryan McGrath (RM) promises to do stand-up.
If this sounds like something you want to get behind, let me know.

Non Racer logistics can be discussed here too. Anyone want to do a easy long run in the Baltimore environs and then head to the race? Or we could just run at the line and then go to the race/post race party.

1. Never use RM and the question "is this something you want to get behind" in the same sentence. Ha!

2. But seriously, here's what I'll say: If you give me names, I can pick up yo shhh and keep it with me so you don't have to get there *that* early.

Post-race will be the same as last year, 1321 Clarkson St. For directions or whatever, drop me an email at rmcgrath@tmo.blackberry.net. It is approximately 1.5 miles from the start line. Then you can rendezvous with me at the house, pick up your numbers, warm up, etc - and then head to the race.
