Reach the Beach Relay

Hi. My sister and I are are trying to compile a mixed ultra team to compete in this year's Reach the Beach relay (www.rtbrelay.com). It's a 200 mile relay that takes place in NH on 9/14-15. There are a total of 36 legs which would be divided among 6 runners (3 female, 3 male). We are in search of runners. We need another female and 3 males to help us. Is anyone interested?

My sister is 29 and a very competitive runner. She recently completed her first marathon in San Diego this year. She ran a 3:13. She averages under 7 minute miles. I'm 25 and have completed 4 marathons. My best being a 3:26. My times fluctuate based on my current training, but on average I run 7-7:30/mile. We are looking for people who can handle the mileage, as well as a decent place. If this is something that you are interested in and feel that you can handle, please contact me via email at track_all_star@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Lisa

If you haven't already, you might want to consider posting this on the RTB Forum[/URL" target="_blank"> as well. Good luck. Ultras are tough; I'm in a 12-person team.

You do know RTB has been sold out for two months, right? Did you already register, and now need to fill up the slots?

I see. Good luck! I'm on a 10-person team myself. Given that it's sold out, I'd think there would be a lot of interest. Maybe the RTB forum will help. Of course, not everybody who wants to do RTB is up for six legs!
