Hey there!
Wanted to post this separately since it is a completely different topic...
Faribault! The Faribault meet is at the Fairgrounds in Faribault. The best way to get in is from the east side of the fairgrounds. In the past, they charged $1 for parking if you came in from the west, however I haven't come that way in so long that I'm not sure they are still doing that. Again, if you need directions, go to Big9.org. There will be a link from the meet information listed there.
Very important information that I forgot to mention last week-applies to ALL MEETS: Stop at a Kwik Trip BEFORE you get to the meet! The facilities are usually portapotties and have very long lines of runners before the meets so it is best not to arrive at a meet thinking that you are going to use the bathroom! So best tip is to be sure to leave enough time to make your bathroom stop before arriving at the race site.
Faribault usually involves a lot of running by the fans to see the runners while they are racing. Brett's note mentions that the course has changed...when I look at it, I can't tell too much about the details of the change-but I can see that it will still involve quite a bit of back and forth across a lot of space to catch the runners along the course!
Note that the C races are a different distance than the other races so be sure to accommodate for that when you are picking your spot on the course to watch!
Wear your running shoes...and your Mayo Green and Gold! Go Spartan Runners!
