Runner's Roster Due Tomorrow!

So now that I am back in town, DC1 is out of here to recuperate from surgery! It has been a whirlwind of a month, so onward to February.

We have a lot to get done in the upcoming weeks but first up is the roster. An official Team Roster of up to 45 potential runners to select from is due to race officials tomorrow. I am sending the form 30JAN09 COB (pending CO's approval).

Right now we have 6 free runner spots and 4 alternate runner spots. New rules from the race committee state that because we will be running as a federal team, we can have anyone that was stationed at Sector Los Angeles- Long Beach last year as a runner candidate to pull from.

We are here for any questions/comments/concerns!

Good Morning from the East Coast!

I am currently TDY in D.C. working with the Armed Forces Inaugural
Committee; besides the incredibly rewarding experience it has been a
lot of fun to try out new places to run (have to stay in shape for
race day!). One of the best parts of running around D.C. is you never
know who you will run into...When I was running in the mall area I
ended up running side by side with a Two Star General on his lunch
break. He thought he was the only crazy one running in the cold, and
asked why I was braving the cold weather as well. I told him about B2V
and he thought it sounded like an amazing event and he wished Team
Coast Guard good luck.

I hope you are all getting your workouts in...and I look forward to
getting back to LA-LB and the warm weather!

Have a great weekend Team 1790,
LTjg Young

Fees Due by 31JAN09

Team Coast Guard,

$80.00 is due by January 31st 2009.

Today we received our first check form Captain Wiedenhoeft, hint hint.

Please make your checks out to Sector LA-LB Morale.

People who pay there fees will get first crack at the legs that we want to run. 2008 team runners get priority.
We will discuss this matter again at our next meeting TBD.

You can drop your checks off at the desk of YN1 Sara Birt (Captain's Executive Assistant) or get them directly to me.

Sincerely,

DC1 Wissmann

Happy New Year!

Do not forget that we have our first official team run tomorrow...A
great way to kick off 2009!

Also, a quick note about hotels:

I just heard from Joe Rudolf and he called the Hilton today. They
remarked that it was a good thing that he called for a reservation
because they are almost filled up. I know that we do not have a final
run plan, but if you are committed and part of the team regardless if
you are running, supporting, volunteering, cheerleading...please
ensure that you have a reservation.

Cheers!
Your team captains
