This year is shaping up to be a great one! That is, assuming we don't get hit by "El Nino" weather that made a mess of the mountains for the Chimera race recently. The good news is that the particular week in February where Twin Peaks resides is "usually" dry with the highest daily rainfall total over the last 4 years around 1". 3 of the last 4 years were very dry during race week and typically the temp has been around 40 for a low and 70 for a high. Let's keep our fingers crossed, knock on wood, say a prayer, throw salt over your shoulder, etc for decent weather leading up to, and on race day!
Training Run
As mentioned earlier, Keira Henninger is leading the training run on Jan 2nd. However, due to an injury, she will not be able to actually run with you all! She WILL be there at the start to hand out maps and answer questions. Remember to familiarize yourself with the course BEFORE you show up for the training run! There should be about 20 people there so partner up if you can. At least several people will be running the entire 50K route and can help direct you. This event is unsupported so come prepared with PLENTY of water and food for your energy needs.
Directions
to Indian Truck Trail:
Highway 15 South (from Corona) or North (from Lake Elsinore). West on Indian Truck Trail Road. Right on Campbell Ranch Road. Left on Mayhew Canyon Road. Left on Santiago Canyon Road (until the road ends).
Registration
It's 8 weeks before race day! If you know anyone who wants to sign up - remind them that rates go up on Jan 1. Also - please spread the word that we need volunteers! Volunteers will help the race go more smoothly for YOU as the runner. They can make or break a race.
Electrolytes & Food
There will be no Hammer products on the course on race day since they conflict with GU. Gu will be providing 500 gels & chomps for the course. Electrolytes will be provided though Nuun. Other typical aid station food will still be provided at the 3 full aid stations. So, train with Gu & Nuun or bring your own gels & electrolytes. It's usually NOT a good idea to switch things up on race day as most of you know!
Carb Load & Early Checkin!
There WILL be a pre-race dinner at 630PM on Friday, February 12th. You won't want to miss this. We'll go over the course in full detail complete with Q&A (there will still be a short pre-race briefing 5 minutes before the start of your wave on race day). Besides good food and pre-race checkin, there will also be prize giveaways such as free shoe gift certificates, Twin Peaks shirts, Gu Roctane, Gu Brew, Fitness Pizza & Grill Gift Cert, and Nuun goodies. The event will run from approzimate 630PM-8PM with a volunteer meeting before dinner from 6PM-630PM. AN RSVP will be sent out some time in January with more details and location. Goodie bag pickup will be in the parking lot so if you can't stay for dinner, you can still drop by and get your shirt and bib (between 6 and 630PM)
Still working on another sponsor or two - stay tuned!
The format has changed for mailings. I'll be using Feedblitz to send out mailings. I've added you all to the 2010 Twin Peaks email list. I will DELETE this mailing list after Twin Peaks is over at the final email goes out (so no need to unsubscribe from the list after TP2010). If you want to get updates on future races, be sure you join the Dirty Feet Productions email list: http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=638455.
Happy Running & Dirty Feet,
Jessica
