All registered Trotters should have received the following email yesterday. If you did not, please check your spam folder.
The 8th annual Hot to Trot 8 Hour Race is almost here! We spent Monday evening mowing and knocking back the poison ivy and blackberry vines for you. No yellow jackets nests were found, but anyone who is allergic should definitely carry an epipen as this is peak yellow jacket season.
Current forecast for Saturday is a high of 90 ... no, wait a second, it just changed to93 97... and sunny. The Air Quality Index is somewhere around Cough, Wheeze and Hack. Summer in metro Atlanta is in full swing.
We've been given permission to have alcohol in the Preserve, but they've asked that we be discreet. So please, don't get drunk and run around naked, scaring the neighbors, ok? Seriously.
As always, we'll fire up the grill some time afternoon noon, probably around 1:00. Burgers for carnivores and vegetarians will be served.
We have the now-famous hand painted plates for the Hottest Female & Male. Also, backcountry.com is sending $100 gift certificates to sweeten the deal! They're promoting Karl Meltzer's attempt at breaking the AT speed record starting on August 5. Check out www.whereskarl.com to read more about Karl's run. Big Peach Running Company (a local favorite) is also throwing in prizes for top finishers, which all adds up to a nice little payoff for winning!
I also hope to have some shirts from One More Mile to give away after the race is over, as well as more items from Big Peach. You must be present to win, so stick around, have a Sweetwater or Steaz and a burger, and see if you're one of the lucky ones. Sorry, but Hottest Male & Female won't be eligible for these drawings since they'll each essentially have $100+ in their pockets!
Steaz Healthy Beverages and Larabar (yum!) will be on hand with product samples. Larabar is my new favorite snack, just stay away from the Key Lime Pie bars...they're mine
