Online Check-in opens July 30th

The online check-in process allows you to complete your check-in for the Breast Cancer 3-Day on your computer before the event.

On July 30th, a link will appear on this page to log in to Phase I of online check-in. Phase I consists of completing an important medical history form and waiver of liability. (If we do not have your email address on file, we will mail you a paper copy of the form.)
Once this form has been completed and cleared by our medical staff (please allow approximately four weeks for processing if you are mailing in the form), you will receive an email invitation to continue with Phase II of the online check-in process. Phase II of online check-in will be open from September 8th until October 30th.
Before completing online check-in, please make sure that we have your correct address and email on file. To do this, log in to your Participant Center and click “My Profile”. Make any necessary corrections to your contact information, and save your changes.

Countdown: 20 Weeks

Training Tip of the Week: Cross Training
Cross Training can be a helpful addition to your 3-Day training program. It allows you to build muscle endurance while decreasing overuse injuries. Remember the 10% rule: you should increase your activity 10% each week in order to give your body time to recover between your training walks. It is possible to do too much, too soon. Pace yourself and pay attention to how your body feels at all times. While walking is the most important preparation, other types of training that will help increase your stamina and strengthen walking muscles include:

• Elliptical Trainer
• Bicycling
• Stair Stepping
• Rollerblading
• Pilates

Strength training through resistive bands or low weights is also an important part of your training program because it can build muscle. Muscle increases your endurance and burns fat better that fat does ;) It need not be an extensive weight lifting program. Interval or circuit training (i.e. Curves classes) alternate aerobic activity with strength exercises. They can be an efficient complement to your training program.
