Arrived okay yesterday, slept in this morning. I typed up and entry, but LJ was being silly last night and ate it. ;-p

Parentals are fine, brother and his family (via the phone) are fine.

There's pretty much nothing I can, or care to, eat in the house, so I'm going to get cleaned up and drive somewhere and get food. Dad was all concerned that the truck they left me had no AC. Not a big deal, it's got windows! So, other than that, it's been pretty uneventful. The train was about an hour late, so I didn't get in until late and had to whip up some noodles for myself rather than go get something, but I can do that with some of the stuff they keep on hand (peanut sauce with noodles - yum).

Had to explain that I am not drinking until after the race. ;-p Brought down a bottle of my favorite Big House Red from Ca' del Solo to celebrate Sunday evening, but nothing before, thankyouverymuch.

Heya! Sorry I hadn't called before you left--hadn't realized you were leaving so early!

I (and Julie and Martha and Kimberly and Teri) will be in Corral 16 for our starting point if you want to meet us there. Alternately, we're staying at the Days In By The Beach (address? what's that?) and are taking a shuttle over to the start of the race, although I'm not entirely sure when.

And most importantly, ze cell phone #: 703-470-1392. :)

I am so clueless about this whole process - I've looked at nothing to prepare for going to pick up the number and what not. LOL! I have no clue what corral I'm in. Got the cell number programmed. :) When are you headed down?

Some of my best races have been run the morning after drinking just a little bit too much beer; the carbs can be useful. The trick is to drink water 1 for 1 with the beer, to keep up the hydration. Some salt is good too, to keep your electrolytes in balance.

But your strategy is a more secure one.
