<p>Since SG is bringing this up under anther topic, I thought that I would give URINEO it's own thread.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Link to the webpage here.</p>

<p>Also another discussion here.</p>

<p>Typical FA, no shirt, no fee, no aid, and no whining.</p>
<p>The goal is to finish at 1:00 PM for the Fest at the Log Cabin.</p>
<p>So adjust your start time to finish around then.</p>
<p>If you are aiming to celebrate at the Cabin, please RSVP to the NEO Trail President so we can ensure adequate amounts of food and refreshments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There will be a group start at 7:00 AM last I heard.</p>
<p>For those running 50 Miles it will be a challenge to finish at 1:00, and I don't think anyone will make that.</p>
<p>The last two or three years very few make the 50 miles, so we weren't too worried about the 50 milers meeting the 1:00 start for the fest.</p>
<p>So do what you can and that will be part of the challenge, to go back out for another loop while the group is socializing at the cabin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For myself I am going to shoot for a 4:00 AM start, just like MMT for 2011.</p>
<p>Wrong Way Baker will be joining me.</p>
<p>I have not heard from Kimba what her start time is, but she has declared 50 miles as her goal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For those with more questions, ask away.</p>

<p>I am planning on starting at 4am with you and Wrong Way. Going to do the orginal YUTC course, with the Big Bear Section and the Lily Pond. Then run it in reverse, for around the 50K portion. Then figure out how many smaller YUTC loops I need to make 50 miles.</p>
<p>I hope to run this under 14 hours. Going around the lower lake has more road,so faster.</p>
<p>Yes, the log cabin will be open, but I am not planning on participating in the festivities, unless I can get a quick cup of soup and then OUT again.</p>
<p>Typically the URINEO loops are done in a 'washboard' fashion. You run the loop clockwise, then reverse it. It allows you to see more runners out there.</p>

<p>I have it requested off .. and last week when I checked it was approved and today when I went in to request another/different day it was under review again ... Ima be pissed if they don't let me run ... I may just be SICK, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>my training has been abysmal since OC and therefore will aim for the 7 a.m. group start and just have fun with the NEO crowd till I hurt enough to stop  ...   before my body was falling apart and my time was vampired away from me with all my jobs this year I'd hoped to go for the 50M option as well  ... I hope Kimba and others have fun with it this year  ...</p>

<p>Checked out the loop this morning.</p>
<p>Trail is in great shape.</p>
<p>The icicles of MCP are in full display for an added bonus.</p>
<p>We must be getting soft, as there are even a few ribbons out marking the intersections.</p>
<p>Looking forward to a some trail time tomorrow and then a party afterwards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>See you there.</p>

<p>The title of this thread makes me have to pee. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>

<p>Good luck you guys, have a blast!!</p>

<p>That is part of the tradition of this event.</p>
<p>If there is snow, you have to write your name somewhere on the course.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were all impressed with Kimba pulling this off.</p>

 

[kimba]

<p>For writing my name in the snow, or finishing?</p>
