Who's in for this weekend?
Can anyone tell me about the course?
I've read there is a moderate to tough hill (anything like james st in cow harbor?) and a steady incline. Does anyone know more specifics?

Re: Oysterfest
Going south on South Street you will be fine. Then you will turn left onto Berry Hill, and that should be fine too. The streets are hilly and winding.... but I've only ever driven the route in my car... They didn't seem to bad to me, until I went to ride my bicycle and found the hills to be much tougher, LOL! I am not sure how it would work with running.... Coming back up Sandy Hill Rd is probably the toughest part in terms of hills. Sorry I can't be of much more help, I've never run it.

Re: Oysterfest
sections 1 and 3 shouldn't be too bad, but section 2 is more hilly.

Re: Oysterfest
thanks trish and laura...
so the worst is after the park? (well when you start sandy hill?)
Maybe I'll take a ride over there after work one day this week. the car can be very deceiving...maybe it's worth a run through...does anyone want to meet up tomorrow or thursday 4ish?
azad - I promise I'll come say hi this weekend! ETA: I'll be athena too!! I love it...although 140 is pretty low for athena...anytime I have see it it's been 10-20 higher - I was at my prime at 140 - that's not so fair!

Erica, the car is so deceiving!! It might be best to take a trial run. I didn't think the hills in my area were bad at all, until I tried to bike them

You are an Athena??? Yeah 140 does not sound big to me at all  I am in the 160+ category so I will be in the upper Athena group - good thing...you're fast 
You better say hi this weekend!

Re: Oysterfest
OK - I did a trial run today
once you get on berry hill, it's a steady incline all the way until standy hill. the incline gets a bit more when the sidewalk ends.
sandy hill is almost all downhill with a few small inclines - nothing bad or annoying at all.
the end is all flat passed the HS
good luck!!

Re: Oysterfest
Bad news!  I'm out for tomorrow. I've been having some lower back pain and so I'm going to have to drop out for tomorrow. My doctor thinks its muscular and not related to the pregnancy as I have no cramping or any other symptoms. She basically thinks I overdid it in pilates and yoga this week.
So I'm going to sit tomorrow out but may pick up another race to replace it. Maybe a Turkey Trot...even it if means rolling along the course like a Butterball!!!
Good luck tomorrow ladies!!!

Absolutely!! If anyone didn't register yet and wants to, FM me and I'll give you my full name so you can pick up my # and stuff. It's already paid for so it will go to waste if not.

You'll have to remind me of that if I actually do the Huntington Turkey Trot thing we were talking about at the Smithtown race! Let me know how it is tomorrow.

So that's where you were I didn't see you and I was wondering if I had missed you again!
Although I didn't get the time I would've liked (I know you warned us about the hill but it was pretty bad - half of the race was all uphill  ) I did get my best time to date 29:59 and placed 4th in the Athena group!
ETS: And it was my lucky day I won a $20 gift certificate to runners edge so I went and bought a water waistpack for myself

Re: Oysterfest
Congrats Azoodie!! That's wonderful! Especially for the course, it is really hilly (believe me, I try and ride my bike up here and never succeed!!).
You look fabulous too!
I'm not too familiar with running, can you explain what an Athena group is? Thanks!
