Glad to hear. See you in New York Paul.

Sure I'll be there. I failed to mention in my other post that the race itself is August 27 at 7AM.

Bugger. Another STUPIDLY early start.

I'll need to sort out flights.

Have you registered already? Do I need to?

Naww, registration starts Jume 21. Would be happy submit your application on your behalf.

Applications will be processed online on a first come, first served basis beginning at noon EDT on Wednesday, June 21. Participants must be at least 12 years old on race day.

I booked the Millenium Hilton as it is sorta near the finish line and the trains to Newark. I will get in a few days before the race but will have to leave late Sunday after the race as school/work start up on Monday.

You are welcome to fly into Dulles and I'll give you the proper Washington tour. Also would give you a chance you fly JetBlue if you have not.

Ah, near the FINISH line sounds like you've used some learning from the B2B, Ben!!! [y]

Seriously, that'd work, and I've not done JetBlue before either. [:?]

Hmmm...this might be one thing I can easily get to. However the running part is another story.

Come on Nick. It'll be good fun

It looks like all participants have to pick up their numbers and such before the race day. Hopefully that won't be a problem for anyone.

Thanks Nick. I think that is due the fact the race (I assume) will use the ChampionChip that gives a much closer elsaped time of a runner.

Well today is the forst day of summer and the day the you need to registar if you decide to. Starts at 5PM UK time...Links above.

I am all set. See you all (hopefully) on the start line!

Just in case you didn't see my message in this thread I will actually be in England when this race occurs, so you'll have to count me out of this one also. Sorry.
