The Legstrong Armstrongs

Updates to come...

2009-06-09T08:09:00.001-06:00

I've got a captains meeting tonight so I'll be getting more details on the race. If anyone has any specific questions shoot them to me and I'll get 'em answered.

It's getting close!

The Alternate Shirt

2009-05-21T19:06:00.002-06:00

I encourage any and all of you to harness the power of this shirt. Just look at the reviews it is getting. Magical. Powerful. It is the #1 selling t-shirt on Amazon (seriously) and I'm sure there is a reason why. I'm buying one.

The New Logo

2009-05-18T09:34:00.000-06:00

Dallas has created an awesome logo for the shirts. Take a look.

Starting Times

2009-05-18T09:33:00.001-06:00

Good news, both teams will be starting at the same time, 12:00 noon. So do we race each other? or try to stay with each other?

Van Assignments

Some people have chosen which leg they want to run, and the rest will be decided among the runners in your van. The van leaders are as follows:

Cinda
cindartaylor@gmail.com

Katie L.
lundquist.kate@gmail.com

Ben A.
benarm@gmail.com

Rusty
rustycannon@gmail.com

Each van/group will need to find their own vehicle. You will also need to provide your own food. Last year we just took a cooler and everyone brought their own food/snacks/drinks. Make sure to have enough WATER for the sizzling hot days. You can decide with your van how you would like to make it work.

I would suggest bringing a sleeping bag and pillow. Also, you will want to change your clothes a couple of times. Plan on cold weather at night (it was a lot colder than I expected). Email your van leader, or Ben or me with any questions.

We have three volunteers so far and need three more. If you know anyone who would be willing to help, let us know asap. There aren't many slots left to choose from. Thanks to those volunteering and helping find volunteers!

Thanks all! Happy running.

You'd better get going...

Substitutions

If you need to make a substitution simply login and click the edit icon in the "Sub Runner" column. This will allow you to substitute one team member for another. There is no charge for substitutions made before April 30, 2009. There will be a $10 late fee for substitutions made after April 30, 2009. There will be a $20 late fee for substitutions made after May 31, 2009. We will not be able to change t-shirt sizes after April 30, 2009, but you will be able to exchange t-shirt sizes at the finish if sizes are still available.

Three Volunteers per Team

All LOCAL teams must provide three (3) volunteers for the race (van drivers do not count as volunteers). Teams are considered LOCAL if they have 1 or more team members within 100 miles of any point on the course. If no one on your team lives within 100 miles of any point on the course you do not have to provide volunteers. Each team is responsible for ensuring their volunteers show up at their appointed times and fulfill their tasks. If a volunteer cannot report, it is entirely up to the Team Captain to find an alternate and make sure they report to their appointed job site. Failure of a volunteer shift to be fulfilled will result in automatic team disqualification without appeal. Beginning mid-June volunteers will be able to sign up on our web site for specific shifts that they would like to work. Shifts will last no longer than 7 hours. Responsibilities may include traffic control, exchange point management, setup and takedown etc. Every volunteer will receive an official race t-shirt, sponsor goodies, and snacks.

What's in a Name?

2008-10-20T11:59:00.006-06:00

Hello everyone! We want to register our teams and to do so we need to decide on our team names. We would like to hear your creative feedback. Ben and I like Legstrong Armstrongs. What are your ideas?

Signing Up!

2008-10-11T07:28:00.002-06:00

We need to get signed up as quickly as possible. The best way to do this would be to have somebody put it on a credit card soon (like now) and the rest of the people send checks for their entry fees. I could do it but I would need the checks first. Anyone else have ideas how we should proceed in this regard?

Training Aids and Tips

2008-10-11T07:27:00.001-06:00

Hey guys. Let's compile the list of resources we find to help us out in our training. Heart rate monitors, training schedules, etc.

Let's Do It

2008-10-11T06:15:00.005-06:00

Wow - I had no idea we'd get so much interest in this thing. I can't wait. All of you that have done it in the past know what is in store. Those who haven't will create life long memories. This is going to be awesome. We have plenty of time to get on the horse and get in shape before June rolls around.

Here's who we have so far. Please let me know if I left you off the list or you want in. Don't let the numbers keep you from speaking up if you want to join. I'm sure we'll need alternates and we may even be able to create another team if people keep streaming in.
