The update on the home page for the Nookachamps half marathon says that the race should run without any changes and it's supposed to continue drying out so all looks good. We can register online for $25 until Monday the 12th, then it goes up to $30. This does not include a shirt but sweatshirts and L/S shirts can be purchased for $25 & 15 respectively. The course map does not show an elevation profile but the description says "mostly flat."
Mt. Vernon is about an hour north of downtown Seattle so we'll want to carpool as much as possible if we do decide to go. Race starts at 10 AM so we wouldn't need to leave Seattle until 8-8:15 unless people are registering that morning.
Thoughts on this? If we vote not to do it, I'm totally cool with that but I may head up on my own. I'd like to do a 'race' to see where I'm at speed wise. If you have an opinion either way, please comment ASAP so we can take advantage of the $25 entry.

I would be up for it. Especially if we can set up some carpools - since it would be a 2 hour drive from the south end.
I'm in - it is a good way to get myself to push my speed for 13 miles
I'm happy to carpool Jen - I need to be home at 3:30 is that possible?
While I love a race, Andrew and I are going to pass on this one. We plan to do the 12 miles from our house on Saturday (Seward Park and Lk WA Blvd). Anyone who isn't planning on going to Mt Vernon and would like to join us, just let us know. I can plan a flat, hilly, or mixed run.
Lee - if the race starts at 10 - it will be real tight to make it home by 3 - its at least a 2 hour drive. But if you are going - I would love to carpool - maybe we can get a couple more to carpool as well.
I'm happy to carpool also. Debi is interested in joining us and I'm sure will want to join a carpool.
Since it will be hard to make it back by 3ish - It makes more sense to stay in town.
I'll plan on running in Seattle (maybe join Emily & Andrew).
I've decided to stay in town and run with Andrew and Emily too. It's just too long a drive - especially since we are going out of town next weekend.
I too have decided to stay in town, but for different reasons. I need some home time to get some things done around the house before another busy weekend.
Emily, I'd be thrilled to do the run you talked about Sunday evening.
So it sounds like I'm on my own for Saturday, unless someone hasn't chimed in yet. I'm happy to drive and anyone who wants to join me can meet me at the I-5 and 65th St. Park-n-Ride at 8 AM on Saturday. Just let me know to expect you.
