well if you cant tell by my title , this will be a fun adventure report , around the Cold wet streets of Nashville , DID I MENTION COLD!!! , with a little treat thrown in.. :) for those of you that know already dont spoil it for the others.. ( shhhh .. shannon and kristy) .. but we Now set sail.. on a long
wet extra mile voyage . My first rockin roll series expo ... and like i was told it was Just like disney.. , and speaking of disney they where there.. and the guy gave me the sign up gift , bc i told him already signed up the week before!... yes so Score some nice swag.. there... , to go along with my sweet , back pack given to us by the st . jude people .. and our run now boston braclets.. so that ended the expo .. i wont bore you with the other stuff so ill just fast foward to the race and extra miles.. ( thats the only hint im givng.. ) , but Joel you were right ... it was hilly but not as bad as i thought.. , once you blocked out the physical part of it and just listened to the bands, and the atomsphere .. you didnt know you were even runing againest the clock.. the crowd , was Amazing at times (made you want to cry , shout, hug , or what ever else.. oH did i mention all this was going on in the Pouring rain... , the runs where so curdious too . when they would see a water puddle , we would try to go out of our way to go around it not to splash each other .. ( yes did i mention we were already soaked.. ) at one point in the race .. we had to Laugh bc the guy handing out water .. said just look how cool you guys are.. lol ... and me and the girl runing beside me at that time both had a chuckle and saif to each other and how cold and wet. we are.. but I ran it all.. , but sadly My time was Unoffical.. but it was 2:01:26.. and near the finish the rain started rain blowing in sheets.. I found my parents got a Maylar cover up.. and was still shivering.. , but i had fun.. and Now to the Island party i didnt party with the CMM folks .. we bought ticket to take mom for her birthday to see JImmy buffett , so my post race concert was jimmy on the first night of his songs from st somewhere tour.. his street parties are so much fun to watch in the afternoon before the concert.. , but over all a great weekend.. -- Ill be doing RNR seires again.. even looking at doing savvanah ga in NOv.

I think RnR series rivals Disney. I really do. Nothing but positives things about their setup.

So glad you did this, had a good time besides the rain and finished. Yes, Nashville really shows up to support. Glad you ran the whole thing, AND, it's better to prepare mentally for the hills and them turn out to be not as bad as you thought. Joel's philosophy... over prepare.

Woot!

Might have to do Savannah this year. Just 2.5 hours down the road.

i looked when i got home from Nashville last night that savvanah , price right now is $105 until 7/14
im seriously looking at just for so many reasons!
If this is the RnR series also, they have been having price sales on the 13th of every month. Code is LUCKY13 but you have to do it on the 13th and it will save you $13. I used it for the Philadelphia race when I registered in March.

It sounds like you had a good time even though the weather didn't cooperate.

I was thinking about running the Savannah RnR half but decided not to. DH and I are running ToT in October and we've got a surprise trip for the kids in the works for December (they aren't going in October) so it just wouldn't be a smart way to spend our money right now.
