Livestrong Challenges - 2010

[Possegal]

For those that like to fill out their calendars early

Seattle - 20 June
San Jose - 11 July
Philly - 21 and 22 August
Austin - 23 and 24 October

For the first time for Philly, they will have the same format as the Austin challenge - the 5K will be on Saturday and the bike ride on Sunday. This impacts my team since half of them do the 5K while the rest of us bike. Not sure how they will feel about this. I will walk the 5K with them though, provided they don't decide to just cheer us all on at the Sunday event.

I hope they still have the packet pickup on Saturday for the bike rides. If they move it to Friday I'll have to take an extra day off from work and spend 3 nights in the hotel instead of 2.

I was thinking the same thing NYB. Though now I guess I have to maybe put up our canopy on Friday. Which I can do since I do get into town earlier and my sister and brother in law live there so they can help. It just adds a new wrinkle when we thought we had all of this down to a science.

This schedule for Austin 2009 is not encouraging:

If they close packet pickup at 1:00 on Saturday, I will still have to take an extra day off and pay for an additional night at the hotel in order to be sure to make it on time. I'm sure many others who come from out of town would be in the same boat.

I think I will email them.

Though Austin has the walk at a different location than the ride. So I'm hoping that makes it different. You are right though, can really cause a problem.

For you though -I'm sure I could help out. I'm there Friday and it wouldn't be a problem to pick up another packet. Just keep it in mind for next year.

Is there a cut off time if you're doing the 100 mile routes?
