Disney travel info

A few points of interest for next week's Disney trip:

1. As per athletic department policy (and because it's the right thing to do), men will travel wearing shirt and tie, slacks and dress shoes (no sneakers, flip-flops, etc). We can wear our new warmup jackets on top assuming it is chilly, and plane cabins tend to be chilly as well.
2. That same outfit (or another formal outfit) is required for our post-meet awards banquet at Disney Saturday night.
3. VERY IMPORTANT: Spikes (the actual spikes) cannot be carried on, they must be checked. You can bring your spiked racing flats with the spikes out on the carry-on, but the actual pointy things -- the spikes -- must be checked. Coach Chuck is planning on ordering more replacement spikes and checking them in his luggage.
4. It goes without saying, but I will say it, anyway: The primary purpose of this trip is to run well in our first championship of the month. As a result, we fully expect team members to CHILL OUT on Friday and not go park-hopping in the hot sun at Disney on Friday afternoon. It doesn't mean you need to sit in your room and read a book (although I like the sound of that), but you don't want to tire yourself out walking around. Save that for Saturday ... for AFTER the race.

That's all I can think of right now. More later ...
