Got my husband in for the Rebel Challenge. Geez, that was stressful! I got two error messages and a page that failed to load. I had to do it THREE times before I got a confirmation. Whew! Good thing I was on the computer right at noon.

Congratulations for getting him in!

No kidding. It seems like the site was crashing at the noon. I got into the Rebel Challenge. Everything is all sold out now.

Congrats to those that got registered! How long before the servers can't handle the loads and they go to a lottery?

BrerGnat - I know they always have sponsors just found it strange that they seemed to be drawing more attention to the sponsor on this one.

Can't wait to hear all about this one including the challenges and party.

[BrerGnat]

I assume the sponsor has some say over how heavily promoted they are. Being that this is a rather unknown company they probably wanted as much exposure as Disney would grant them. I know we looked it up once we realized it wasn't the beer brewery. And now we know who they are and what they do I think sharing a name with a popular beer company probably causes some confusion for this company and they wanted it to be clear that they were sponsors, and not the brewery, hence the overuse of Sierra Nevada Corporation in all the press about the run.

Hope everyone's ready for this coming weekend! Our youngest, Mark, is going with me, though he'll probably be sawing logs while I'm running.

What's everyone's plans for the weekend? We're hitting California Adventure on Friday afternoon/evening after we get checked and I pick up my race packet. Saturday we're headed to Disneyland Park after I finish the 10K.

We're headed home on Sunday after the half-marathon.

We arrive at LAX at 9:30 am and are headed straight to Expo. Then we will check in at GC. My daughter and I run Saturday in the 10k. DH & DD leave Monday and I leave Tuesday.

I am hoping to see some of Yall out there!! Trader SAMs anyone??

We arrive at John Wayne @ 10:55am. We are taking the bus so I figure we won't get to the resort area before noon. I will probably drop the luggage off and then head to the expo. (I so hope there is still a magnet left!) We leave early Monday morning.

The 10K/half challenge is going to take everything I have so "early-to-bed" and "no alcohol" for me this trip.

Maybe we can do a quick meet somewhere? I would love to meet at Trader Sam's but I don't think I can as the temptation will be too great and it might be too late. HA!

I'm wishing you all great speed on your races!

MAY THE COURSE BE WITH YOU!

I'll stop by and say hi. Just let me know what time works!

It'll have to be tomorrow for me then; we fly home Sunday afternoon. It'll be up to Mark if I can make it over there so I'll have to see how things are going.
