Hi, We are meeting at Santa Barbara Running Company in Montecito tomorrow at 6:30am. All runners racing Cal Int'l Marathon will warmup 40min to the intersection of Hot Springs road and mountain Drive where you will start your Marathon pace 9miler. Course below:

Basically heading East on Mountain down San Ysidro rd to South Jameson Ln to Olive Mill to Channel dr to Butterfly to Hill rd (the 1mile loop around the Biltmore Hotel) then keep looping around the Biltmore until you reach 9miles. Everyone else including those racing the SB Half next week will be doing 4 loops (4miles) around the Biltmore continuously...same starting place as usual at the cross walk on Channel dr. First loop at 85% (low end threshold), next 3 loops higher end threshold closer to 90% effort...but NOT RACING. Bring your water/Gu etc and we will put out a table at the cross walk in front of the Biltmore for marathoners to practice drinking and taking fuel during the run. See you all tomorrow, Rusty/Mike
