2012 rock 'n' roll philadelphia event guide

September 16, 2012

Welcome to the one marathon you won’t want to end.

A race so rock ‘n’ roll, the mile markers are rock bands.

Because what’s the point of running if you just want it to end?

Here, you might not break the tape, but the podium isn’t the point.

Life is a journey and running should be a celebration.

FIRST HIGHLAND WATCHFirst Highland Watch is a bagpipe rock ‘n’ roll band out of Philadelphia. They have a unique sound unlike any other band of classic rock ‘n’ roll infused with bagpipes. Celtic music ramped up with rock ‘n’ roll really gets any crowd going. First Highland Watch covers Sabbath, Floyd, Aeros-mith, Nugent, Dropkick Murphy’s, and plays some original tunes as well.

Course Band BiosDAYSEAmDayseam is an independent alternative rock band from Philadelphia. Formed in early 2008, Dayseam’s incredible songwriting, guitar work, and killer vocals serve as a musical medium that translates reflection into a collective, organic encounter with awareness. Currently featured in Photopass Magazine as an “underdog artist to watch,” the band continues to lay the groundwork for a successful third studio album release. Ehsan Ahmad, lead guitarist, and Steve Mroozian, guitar and vocals, along with a revolving supporting cast, perform regularly at well renowned Philadelphia venues, including The Northstar Bar, The Hard Rock Café, and The Legendary Dobb’s.

THE SUCCESSFUL FAILURESThe New Jersey Americana/indie-rock band, The Successful Failures, recently released their fourth full-length album, “Here I Am,” a 12 song barrage of roaring, kicking, indie rock fun. The 12 new songs penned by singer/guitarist Mick Chorba are about fallen Civil War heroes, shark attacks, Vikings, the rise of new world leaders, surviving the NJ Turnpike and other off-kilter subject matter the band has become known for. Chorba, along with band mates Ron Bechamps, Rob Martin and John Wil-liams share a diverse love of all types of music from the Beatles to Cash, Hank Williams, The Clash, Ramones, Steve Earle, The Replacements, Nada Surf, Drive-by Truckers and the like. The band’s sound falls somewhere between the sound of groups such as Guided by Voices and The Shins mixed with the rock ‘n’ roll attitude of bands like the Supersuckers and Social Distortion.

ONLY ON WEEkENDS Only on Weekends is a serious band that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Drawing influences from bands such as The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World, the band’s music is catchy and fun, while at the same time, heartfelt and meaningful. With themes of growing up and drifting apart from people that you used to hold closely, the songs on their latest EP, “Dig In,” are ones that anyone can relate to.

REFUEL WITH CHOCOLATE MILK GET SPONSOREDEndurance athletes, trainers and sports nutrition experts all know the importance of an athlete’s after. Every athlete has his or her own after-workout or after-competition ritual, and your After can make a dramatic difference in how you feel and how you perform during your next tough workout.

That’s why athletes – from the most elite to the everyday – turn to lowfat chocolate milk as part of their recovery routine. Chocolate milk has what athletes need to recover after a hard workout, including:

• A natural source of high-quality protein to build and repair lean muscle.

• The right carb-to-protein ratio scientifically shown to refuel exhausted muscles.

• Fluids and electrolytes – including calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium – to help replenish what’s lost in sweat.

If you’re a passionate athlete who grabs lowfat chocolate milk as part of your After, submit a video and get your friends and fans to vote for you to secure a spot on Team REFUEL.

Explain what makes up your personal after-workout ritual – and the role chocolate milk plays in it – and you could score:

• $500 sponsorship• Top notch Team REFUEL training gear• Chance to compete for Team REFUEL at the 2013 Rock ‘n’ Roll Edinburgh or Madrid Marathon & 1/2 • Chance to star in a national “got chocolate milk?TM” ad

$1 will go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation for each vote.–Mirinda Carfrae,

2010 Ironman World Champion

TM

You’ve made lowfat chocolate milk part of your After. Represent it by submitting a video at Rock ‘n’ Roll event expos or online today! Read the science, submit a video and check out elite athlete training videos at gotchocolatemilk.com.

For many of you, this will be your first half marathon. Whether this is your first or fiftieth race, congratulations on your commitment to fitness and a healthy lifestyle! Whether you choose to run, walk or just rock, the following tips will help to ensure you have a fun and safe Rock ‘n’ Roll experience.

If you have questions, please visit RNRSportsMedicine.com, stop by the Rock ‘n’ Roll Sports Medicine Team booth at the Expo or visit one of our Medical Tents on race day. We would be happy to assist you. Have fun, be smart, and stay within your limits. In other words, Rock On…

TRAIN It’s too late to start now, but you need to respect the distance you’ve chosen to walk or run. There are many different training programs available to you. Be sure you chose one that had you complete at least 2/3 of the race distance several times during your training period. If not, slow down and participate at a comfortable pace.

HYDRATE If you have not calculated your fluid needs for this race, there are two strategies which will ensure you don’t under or over-hydrate. The easiest is to only drink when you are thirsty. If you want to be a little more scientific, limit fluid intake to 4-8 oz of sports drink every 20 minutes For more information on hydration strategies, please visit our website..

SALT Losing salt through sweating and complex hormone changes during exercise can result in lowering your serum [blood] sodium level. This will not only affect your performance, it may lead to muscle cramping, headache, dizziness and confusion. Have some sports drink along the course to quench your thirst, or follow your pre-planned schedule.

PLEASE Fill out the medical informa-tion section on the back of your bib number. While serious medical problems are quite rare, knowing any medical problems you have, medications you are taking or allergies to medications is extremely helpful to our Medical Volunteers. Our goal is to treat all of our athletes like Rock Stars!
