50/40 Route Information

Wow, just got settled with finalizing the route and schedule. This is what I sent out to my "volunteer" crew:

Just a little info on what's going on. I'm going to run from La Crescenta starting at 5AM. I'll be running with a friend, Flaco Mendoza, who's an experienced ultra marathoner. We're going to be running with backpacks that will hold our hydration and nutrition. We're going to try and do a steady 11 - 12 min/mile pace, maybe 5 miles/hour. That's taking into account the rain and the sidewalk running.

Along the way though, we'd like to utilize you awesome volunteers for: 1) Replenish our hydration and nutrition 2) Words of encouragement 3) General concern, if it looks like I'm really out of it, try to convince me to stop.. haha
  • In each aid station, all we'll probably need:
  • 1 bottle each of 20 ounce water or 1 bottle each of Gatorade
  • a bag of pretzels each
  • Ruffles potato chips
  • Flat coke
  • SALT (at least for me)
  • peanut butter/jelly sandwich

I have all this and will try to get it to you guys on Friday. If I can't get it, would it be possible just to have water & salt (yeah, table salt) from you guys, maybe paper towels to dry off? We're pretty much self sufficient. We're going to try and get nutrition along the way through supermarkets and gas stations.
