Integrative Therapies here tomorrow
Our SA Fit massage therapy sponsor, Jill Sulak with Integrative Therapies, will be at Run Gear Run tomorrow (Sat 9/20) starting at 7:30 am. Everyone who is meeting here (half marathoners & full marathoners who are doing their benchmark on Saturday) is invited to sign up for a free post-workout massage. Just come into the store and sign up for your spot -- first come, first served.
Also, Jill has invited any of our full marathoners who are doing the Army Dillo 32k on Sunday to come get a free pre-race massage! What a great way to start your benchmark weekend. Come on over Saturday and sign up for a spot.

32k Alternative Benchmark

Saturday option
In case you missed it in the newsletter this week, I wanted to make sure everyone know about the Saturday benchmark option for the full marathoners. Because we had a large number of people who were not able to get into the designated benchmark race on Sunday, we will be having a group meeting at Run Gear Run on Saturday to do their 32k at 6:00 am.
The full marathoners' route will be in conjunction with the half marathoners' course in Hollywood Park. Full marathoners will do the course two times to get an 18 mile route. For this group, the aid station will be at the following distances:
3.25 miles
5.75 miles
12.25 miles
14.75 miles
If you continue on Tower Rd all the way to Bitters, there is also a convenience store at 4.5 miles & 13.5 miles. Pack a few dollars just in case you need it.
** We will have a group meeting after announcements on Saturday to get
a headcount of all doing their benchmark with us on Saturday. We need to know how many
people will be on the course so that the aid station is staffed
adequately. Please make sure to look for this group if you will be
joining us for your benchmark on Saturday **

Race reminders

 Army Dillo on Sunday
Just a reminder that the Army Dillo folks need to get to the race early on Sunday for packet pickup. Please be sure to leave a lot of time to deal with entry onto Fort Sam Houston. You will need to make sure you have your driver's license (even if you're not driving) and valid plates & insurance for your car! They will refuse entry if you have expired plates. This could create a backlog, so make sure you plan extra time.
Best wishes to everyone doing their benchmark on Sunday! Don't forget you can stop by the store Saturday morning for a quick pre-race massage.
