RACE INFORMATION

In 10 days (Sunday, June 1st I will be running my race for a cure of 26.2 miles! The red lines on the map is our course!

In order to facilitate 21,000+ participants they put you in pace groups of approx. 1,000 people per corral. I was originally placed in corral 18 of 21 (?) I think their is 21 corrals :) As many of you who follow my blog know... my pace has improved over the last 4 months of training! I am going to switch my corral to 13 at the Expo next Saturday!

I will be activating my race chip at the Expo as well! This is the most advanced timing fore events. The chip is attached to your shoe via tie wraps so when you cross certain marks on the path it will automatically record your time. That means you can see my progress live! That is right, Melissa LIVE is going to actually be LIVE and not virtually LIVE! All you have to do is go to Live Results and you can follow my progress online! My progress will be recorded at the 5k, 10k, 10-mile, 13.1 mile and 20 mile marks with updates to the LiveResults site every 60 seconds. Just visit http://listserver2.eliteracing.com/t/5710/1574323/242/0/?u=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ybnJtYXJhdGhvbi5jb20vaG9tZS5odG1s&x=285ca04d and click on the LiveResults bug on the home page during the race.

If that isn't entertaining enough, NBC will have a Finish Line CamOn-Demand where you can watch me cross the Finish Line! For the first time, NBCsandiego.com will be providing "Finish Line Cam On-Demand." I will definitely being going to NBCsandiego.com after the race to see my finish too, of course it will be a rerun, LOL!

More things can be found online at http://www.rnrmarathon.com/home.html If any of you are local and want to volunteer, their is a special place on the site that allows you to become a volunteer!

Next Saturday morning I will be running 2 easy miles and then Jeremy and I are heading to San Diego for the Expo! This is where I will get all my race day goodies and then at 5pm we will be at the TNT pasta party! I have to be up at 3ish on Sunday so I plan on watching a movie and getting to bed as early as possible!

I am SO EXCITED!!!!!
