Golden Gate event July 23,2011

Hi,
I am going to be flying in from Florida and saw this event and registered. I am looking for any and all input as to what to expect, as far as weather goes and the best way to dress for the event. I would also love some input on how early one needs to arrive and how everyone works out all those logistical details for this particular event.

Thanks,

Chuck

Those are broad questions, but here it goes:
- if you arrive about 45 minutes ahead of the event, you will have plenty of time to register
- The weather in the Headlands this time of year can range from light rain/mist, heavy winds and highs around 50 to sunshine and 85. Be prepared to run in cold weather if it's super foggy/windy.
- It never gets very humid (by Florida standards) around these parts (I used to live in Ft. Lauderdale a long time ago)
- Not sure what your experience with hills is, but this event obviously has some vertical. The first hill is the steepest and hardest IMO. You'll get to run it twice in the marathon/50k.
- The aid stations are very well stocked with food and drink. Do not expect gels, however.
- Have fun!

Not sure what you mean by 'logistical details'.
