2 Week Update

Dear Runners,

Webcast - We will be posting live updates approximately every 1/2 hour during the race to the following website: http://javelinajundred.mylaps.com/

Daylight Savings - I want to thank Robert Kania for pointing out that Arizona does NOT follow daylight savings time. Please be aware of this so that you do not show up an hour late!!! To clarify, Arizona is in Mountain Standard Time and is now currently two hours behind EST and one hour ahead of PST! We are the same time as Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico on race day.

Foot Taping Update - Kachina Rescue will begin taping feet at 4:15am on race morning. They will offer this on a first come first serve (There is no longer a need to sign up). If you have specific taping materials you would like used, bring them along. Otherwise they will be using Kinesio Tex tape with Mueller Skin adhesive exclusively.

Medical Needs - If anyone has special medical needs, you should notify Alan at Kachina Rescue by email or in person (they will be there around noon on Friday). Alan's email: kachinarescue@cox.net

Volunteers for Mini-Study - Here is a message from Alan at Kachina Rescue: We are also looking for about 10 volunteers who would be willing to get weighed pre-race and then after each lap and fill out a very short questioner before and after the event. I am doing a mini-study on weight-gain/loss during ultra-endurance events for teaching purposes. I would like at least half of these volunteers to be pre-race foot taping runners. If you have any interested parties could you have them email me at kachinarescue@cox.net.

Kachina Rescue
will have a scale and log book available for any runner to use and keep track of their weight themselves as well.

Vegetarian Options -
We will have veggie subs, vegetarian potato soup at Javelina Jeadquarters, and veggie burgers throughout the night.

News Blog -
I have created a "News Blog" with all of the recent updates and emails in case you deleted them. You may also share this website with family and friends since we plan on posting during the race with photos and race updates (Internet willing...). http://javelinajundred.blogspot.com

I will be sending out one last email next week with final information and updates.

Thanks!
Jamil Coury
Race Director - Javelina Jundred

It almost feels like I'm getting married again. I got a ton of butterflies in my belly. A year worth of prep for a big party where I'll end up puking before, during and after. Wonder if it'll be like this for all my "first" times?
