KEY BLOCK----- Hi everyone! I may be in a happy baby haze, but just a reminder to get your votes in for a name today / tomorrow or John will just pick based on current consensus. Name change deadline is in 3 days so I'd like to do that this weekend. Also, we have one lone straggler who hasn't registered, but as soon as that person does, we'll get our start time, and I can complete the timing estimate chart! Thanks all! Happy training!

We need 2 vans, and they should comfortably seat 6-9 (since having room to stretch out is a nice bonus), with enough space in the rear for the gear and a cooler. Have a friend with a van? Ask them! Know someone with a hook up at a dealership or rental? Ask them! Know a soccer mom/dad? Ask them! >>>> >>>> 3) SHIRTS: Do we want them? We haven't done them in the past because people tend to have a favorite shirt to run in, but we could get some if there's enough interest and if our team name is cool enough. (Link here for Ragnar's discount shirt provider: http://www.sweatvac.com/ragnar-relay-team-apparel-pages-75.php) >>>> >>>> 4) DOWNLOAD THE APP: Ragnar finally got with it and made an App. Go to your respective App stores and download today!

We do have backups who are interested, so don't hesitate to let us know if you think you need to bow out. There's no shame. Once upon a first ragnar, I got a stress ulcer two weeks before the race and switched with our team volunteer. Turns out I like volunteering better than I like running, so everything worked out! The moral: tell us as soon as you know you need to drop and we'll accomodate. But hopefully that won't happen. >>>> >>>> 7) PAYMENT: We'll settle up after all the receipts are in, after the race.

All of you. And for our new blood, so glad to have you with us! That’s Gabe, Emily, Brian, Tamara, Tony, and Bridget. Some of you have run Ragnar before, just not with us, and we’re so glad you decided to spend approximately 36 sweaty hours with us this year. For some of you, this is your first race.

By Friday July 3rd, please send me your 3 preferred legs and your realistic current mile time (say, for a 5 miler or 10k, but I need to know your mile time, not K time) Also send me your cell phone number, which I'll add to the contact roster. If you don’t send your preferences, we’ll just put you where we need you. Don’t all clamor at once for Leg 3, now! >>>>> >>>>> John and I will try to get the assignments finalized by July 6th so that everyone has a good ~3 months to train. >>>>> >>>>> Web Sign in: >>>>> Very soon you will all get a link from Ragnar asking you to sign in. When you take the time to register, make sure you IMMEDIATELY add in your mile pace time. Don’t wait on this. This will determine our start time on October 2nd and approximate end time on October 3rd. Slower teams start much earlier—as early as 5 am! So guessing you’ll be much slower than your pace hurts everyone and would actually put us at the head of the pack, and we’d possibly have to be held if we’re too far ahead. It’s ok to put in some cushion for fatigue, but don’t try to game the system. A good idea is to put in a mile time consistent with at least a 10k, a 10 miler or maybe even a half marathon if you know yours. Believe it or not, the calculator on the website is pretty accurate, seems to account for elevation somewhat depending on your leg assignments, and every year we’ve been able to estimate where we’ll be at any given time by about +/- 30 minutes, which is very useful for the hotel portion of this race. >>>>> >>>>> Hotel: >>>>> >>>>> For those who haven’t had the luxury of running with us in the past, we discovered a fabulous gem of a hotel in Gaithersburg last year (TownePlace Suites), so we booked 2 rooms again (1-2 beds, one pull out couch per room). John fretted that I’m not going to let you all crash at my house a mile away, but trust me—my daughter will only be about 6 weeks old at that point, and I’m pretty sure you all want sleep without the wails and cries of a newborn. >>>>> >>>>> Now the fun part… >>>>> >>>>> Approximate Cost Breakdown: $146 >>>>> -Registration: $ 120 per person >>>>> -Hotel: $ 21 per person >>>>> -Gas: Pitch in about $5 total at the end, I think >>>>> -Food: Bring your own, but if we ask nicely, John will make a Costco run for us.
