Westside LA Team In Training - Summer 2009 Marathon & Half Marathon Team

Posts Tagged ‘sandiego’

Should have sent this out earlier, but I found a very helpful article for the San Diego Marathon spectators. Please send the link to your friends and family who will be at the event.

I’d say this holds true for our team, except the last spectator tip, about the headliner concert. Usually the westside team stays close or inside the hotel and celebrate our victories at the bar. As a quick overview about the article it contains:

Six Spectator Tips:

1. Parking
2. Entering the Marine Corps Recruit Depot
3. Take the Trolley
4. Best Spectator Areas Along the Course
5. Go to the Finish Line Festival – (10:30am – 1pm)
6. Stay for the Headliner Concert – (1:15pm – 2:30pm)

The article also provides tips on high traffic areas, where to park, airport and downtown access, and links to the course map.

This is a friendly reminder that the Recommitment for the San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and Half-Marathon is TONIGHT! (If you’re on the Team, you should have recieved the evite e-mail.) We want to celebrate your decision to recommit to the Team. You should have received your paperwork in the mail and all that’s left is for you to fill it out and turn it in. This is a great opportunity to turn in your completed paperwork or to ask Kristen any questions you might have.

For those running Alaska and Seattle this Party is for you too!!!! It’s a great chance to hang out with your teammates.

And, what’s better than running, eating, drinking, hanging out with friends and teammates and recommitting yourselves to saving lives one mile at a time.

The eating, drinking, hanging out, and recommitting starts and 6:30 and runs until you’ve had enough.

As for the running part . . . Your fabulous mentors and captains have rescheduled their training runs to begin and end at Sonny McLean’s. So if you want to get in your training run wear (or bring) your running clothes and sneakers. We will have runs leaving Sonny’s at 6:30, 7:00, and 7:30. And, then when you get back we can eat, drink and be merry!!!!

Also, Top to Top is right next door to Sonny’s and offers Team in Training participants a discount so if you need new gear its a great opportunity to pick something up.

If you have any questions about the Party don’t be afraid to ask us. We’d love to see all of you there and to celebrate with you.
