Beat the Blerch, anyone?

[clseale]

Didn't someone run this last year? How was it? There's a fairly good chance that DH & I will be in Seattle that weekend. We were originally planning on leaving Saturday, but I'm trying to talk him into staying until Sunday so that we can run this race.

Ooh! We were thinking about going to Seattle the week before this! I don't think we can stay that long though.

[joenali]

Well and you need to see me! Duh!

My friend ran it last year, she said it was lots of fun!

Well, clearly I think you should rearrange your entire trip for me. We have to confirm with our friends in OR, but our tentative plans are to fly into Portland Labor Day weekend and spend some time with them. Then we would drive to Seattle & spend a few nights there. It sounds like a fun race!

I did the virtual race last years, and the race packet was great! Tech tshirt, Blerch squeezie, medal, stickers, and some other stuff.

[clseale]

Well crap, nevermind. On the main site it says registration open. When you go to the event page, it's already sold out. Looks like they opened up a Sunday race, but we'd need to fly home on Sunday.

eta: I joined the wait list.
Eta2: I know you all care & were super invested in this. Lol

LOL! Well I'm hoping we can snag 2 bibs for Saturday's race, but we're also looking at the Tacoma Narrows half. We should know our trip plans in the next week or so. I'll definitely let you  know what we decide. Maybe we can meet up with you guys for dinner one night.

I did the virtual last year. Best swag I've ever gotten for a race. I hope you get to run the real thing!

[bluedaisyus]

I did the virtual last year. I haven't signed up for this year but I probably will, the kit was awesome.

[clseale]

YOU GUYS!!! Someone just messaged me & said that she needs to sell two bibs for Saturday's race. Yay!! I'm so excited.

ETA: jene, when are you going to be in Seattle? I think our plan is to be there 9/9-9/13. 

[jene]

clseale, we will be there 9/6-9/10. I signed up for the virtual race this year

[bluedaisyus]

FYI if anyone is still considering the virtual but hasn't registered, today is the last day to do it.

[secretlyevil]

Signing up for virtual race this year.

[Wines Not Whines]

I just realized there's another race this year in NJ. Is anyone doing that one?

[sadlebred]

The virtual race packet was great last year! I'm not going to be able to do it this year.

I would just like to date that my birthday is September 6th and I live in Seattle!
