Hi Everyone,

Just a quick reminder that this Saturday's route is out-and-back on the C&O Canal. I will not be bringing cue sheets on Saturday b/c it is really straight-forward to get to the canal.

Here is the cue sheet in case anyone wants to look at it:

The official route is 18 miles.....but, clearly, not everyone has to run that far or that short (everyone is encouraged to turn around when they so desire :))
Note that the mile markers on the C&O canal match up nicely with the distance from Iwo Jima. So, if you run out to mile marker # 9, you have run 9 miles and if you make it all the way back to Iwo Jima (which I hope you do :)), you will have a total of 18 miles.

One key piece of information that people may need for determining how far they are going to run (or how many stealth miles they will do before SLR) is the location of the water stop!

The mid-point water stop will be at about mile marker #7 on the trail (which is conveniently 7 miles from Iwo Jima). So, if you are running 18 miles, you will hit the water at mile 7 and mile 11.

Thanks in advance to Lana Leung for providing the mid-point beverages and Mary Ellen Seale (or is Lynn Addington subbing for her?---let's thank them both :)) for providing the post-run beverages!

See you Saturday,
:)kerry.
