Most but not all followed their lead in getting very wet, many got in the full 9 miles today.

Please review the forecast the day before and come prepared. Don’t forget Sunscreen, a (cowboy) hat, maybe sun glasses and comfortable shoes that can get wet, e.g. a running shoes or the like. You may want to bring a change clothes for afterwards.
Parking - Parking can be an issue, recommend carpooling. Parking for the first shift should not be a problem BUT for 2nd and 3rd, you may encounter closed roads. Leave a bit of extra time to get to aid station #6. You may be able to park in East Shore within 2-4 blocks.
Please arrive a few minutes before your shift so you can check in and get your IM volunteer shirt.
