Tonight we ventured to downtown Indianapolis for the first of 3 trips in 3 days. Our purpose was to stop at the Minimarathon expo for packet pickup. Packet pickup is the time when runners get a goody bag that includes the race number, timing chip, race day instructions and a mix of other items. This year the goody bag include the standard long sleeve race tee-shirt, a yellow and white running hat, and a smattering of advertisement brochures. I was happy to find out that I am seeded in corral E this year based on the qualifying time that I submitted. I'm not sure exactly how many people are in each corral but it will probably move me atleast 2000 people closer to the front over last years G corral seeding.
The Expo is an event in itself. Dozens of vendors are there with running related products (or not running related products). Seyferts provided free snacks and IUPUI handed out band aids among others in attendance. The Expo is fine but it is slight in comparison to the Chicago Marathon Expo that I attended in 2005.
We have some pictures, taken by Liz, of me and two members of my curb crew...
Tomorrow night is the NF Endurance team dinner. Pictures to follow.
