Each relay team will consist of 5 runners. Over the course of a 48-hour period, each team will, collectively, run and\/or walk a marathon (26.2 miles). Here are the current (draft) rules. Feedback is welcome. <\/p>\n
1. Each team consists of 5 runners and\/or walkers. Ideally, big blogs could field a team of permas. For smaller blogs, commenters might join in, or other bloggers. <\/p>\n
2. The team will, collectively, run and\/or walk a marathon ( 26.2 miles) over 48 hours. [Date TBA, in about a month or so] [How does Sept 28-29 look for people?]<\/p>\n
3. There are 10 legs of the relay. They are:<\/p>\n
1. 4.5 mi
\n2. 2 mi
\n3. 3 mi
\n4. 1.5 mi
\n5. 2.5 mi
\n6. 1.5 mi
\n7. 3.5 mi
\n8. 0.7 mi
\n9. 2 mi
\n10. 5 mi<\/p>\n
(Total: 26.2 mi)<\/p>\n
Hopefully, that gives a good mix for both experienced and less experienced runners \/ walkers. <\/p>\n
4. Walking is just fine. Really! This isn’t the Olympics. Time will be kept, but really, we’re all just here to have fun. <\/p>\n
5. The legs don’t actually have to be run in order or connecting. That would just be too complicated, logistically. So, Person 1 can run Leg 7 early in the morning, Person 2 run leg 5 later that morning, Person 3 run leg 1 in early afternoon, etc. You just have to have all done by the end of the 48 hour period. (This is where “sorta virtual” comes in).<\/p>\n
6. Running or walking must be done, like a regular relay, on the road. Gym miles just aren’t the same as road miles. If in doubt about distance, use google maps pedometer. <\/p>\n
7. No team member can run more than three laps. Also, if possible, try not to have the same person run the two longest legs. <\/p>\n
8. You’re on the honor system as far as times. If you want to track yourself, such as with NikePlus, that’s fine too, but not required. <\/p>\n
9. Take lots of pictures. Half the fun is talking about it with your friends. <\/p>\n
10. There is no hills \/ climb requirement, because that would be too complicated to calibrate among teams. <\/p>\n
In other words, run on the the flattest road you can find.<\/p>\n
11. The winner will receive . . . bragging rights. And eternal glory. And that’s about it. No cash prizes, sorry.<\/p>\n
(12. No making fun of Kaimi’s mile time.)<\/p>\n
Any questions? <\/p>\n
And by the way, the T&S team is going to completely trounce the BCC, FMH, and MM teams. Just sayin’. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
