Getting Ready for LA

We're into the final two weeks of preparation for our big day!

Physically, we're spending the remaining time tapering.

Mentally, we're getting ready for race day. Students and Volunteers, here are some tips for your preparation:

• Familiarize yourself with the course map and elevation profile (.pdf)
• Think about what supplies you will bring and how you will carry them. There will be water each mile and Gatorade every other mile throughout the course, but you should plan on carrying your favorite snacks. Volunteers, SRO will provide additional food and first aid supplies for you to carry as well.
• Make a plan for different kinds of weather. It is likely to be quite warm, so pack a hat and sunscreen and think about how much more you may want to drink. Re-read our Heat-Related Training tips.
  
• Relax and enjoy yourself! Be sure to get plenty of rest in the days leading up to the race. We'll see you the day before the race -- Sunday, May 24 -- bright and early at the Oakland Airport.

Volunteers, please check the Calendar page for directions to this weekend's run! There is another event at Sports Basement (later in the morning), so consider using alternate parking as we did for the Presidio 10 race.
