The race starts at 7:40am and it's a madhouse getting down there. I plan to arrive between 6-6:30am and start my warm-up no later than 6:45am. Anyone who wants to meet to warm-up should meet me at the start line at that time. I feel that you can't get to this race too early.
6:45-7:15 warm-up (only 20 mins or so, but a 10 min buffer)
7:15-7:30 bathroom/stretch
7:30 head to starting line
Will anyone be hanging out at the start/finish line who is not running who might be able to take warm-ups?
Update: Meet here post race for team photo.
In the intrest of creating high quality content for the blog, I will be producing the 3rd annual GRC Cherry Blossom video, in collaboration with friend of the team, Jon Snow. After the race and cooldown, we ask that all GRC team members report to the Washington monument grounds adjacent to the finish line for short interviews.
ReplyDeleteThis is also a great chance to get a team photo since so many GRCers will be at the race. We have a lot of new faces this year.
ReplyDeleteLike Peter said, everyone should meet on the Washington Monument grounds right after you finish. Maybe more specifically we can meet next to the Washington Monument Ticket Office/Restrooms (the new little stone building adjacent to the finish). Those of you not racing should meet us there too since you should be in the photo.
Good luck guys!
ReplyDeleteSince our award-winning photographer Jarrin is racing, it would be great to have a non-racing GRCer out there getting stills. If you have a DSLR camera rather than a point and shoot, that would be ideal.
ReplyDeleteI can take care of warmups. That's no problem. I'll try to bring a camera, too.
ReplyDeleteHopefully me and my trusty bike, ZeroZeroTwo, will be able to catch you guys at mile markers 1, 4, 6, 7, 8 and the finish line. I'll be trying to maintain balance and shout out times if there are no clocks on the course. I don't think I can shoot pictures while riding though.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to working with the esteemed Mr. Path.
ReplyDeleteTo all, push hard Sunday!
Hey Chicken Tender, maybe I can duct tape a flip video camera to your helmet.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE:
ReplyDeleteGeneral Order # 1 from RED FOX:
I have a gazillion fliers for the FATHER'S DAY 8K in my bag that I need help handing out after the team picture. If anyone is NOT running the race I would greatly appreciate it if you took them off my hands before the race. If not, we can all work together post-race.
I'll be out on course and as long as you have a GRC singlet on, I'll take a pic. I guess that will force me to make a Picasa album or something (as always, I'll also upload to facebook).
ReplyDeleteMore importantly I love the handwritten section of your map.
McGrath, post race I will send you instructions on how to file-transfer the original photos to me (Picasa and facebook compress the files.) Does your camera shoot jpeg or RAW?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like my map. Incidentally, I received poor marks for penmanship throughout grade school.
Bring duct tape, I'll bring the helmet.
ReplyDeleteWait, so what time is team photo?
Kidding about the duct taping.
ReplyDeleteThis is the tentative post race schedule:
8:45am: Assemble at rendezvous point (x marks the spot) for team photo
8:45am-9:45am:. GRC post race interviews (can do either pre or post cooldown)
Post-Race party: TBA
McGrath, can you use senduit.com to send me the best GRC pictures you have?
ReplyDeleteThanks
