#RNRLA

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.

The Face of Dog Fighting Gets the Life He DeservesYou may have seen this photo before. It was taken in August 2013 at the scene of a dog fighting raid, and it can be hard to look at—a small, vulnerable puppy tied to a heavy chain, alone and cowering in fear.

That puppy’s name is Timmy, and he was one of 367 dogs rescued from a multi-state dog fighting ring that spanned Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. After the raid, Timmy and the other dogs were taken to a temporary shelter where ASPCA responders gave them medical examinations, behavioral assessments, and the care and love they had previously been denied.

But Timmy’s story doesn’t end there. This sweet puppy was placed in foster homes that helped train him to become a well-adjusted pet. His final foster parents, Brian and Nadine DeCicco, just couldn’t give the little pup up and adopted him this past May.

Timmy now lives with Brian and Nadine in Maryland, where he is safe, happy and well-fed. “These dogs show amazing resiliency and forgiveness after being treated so poorly. They just want to be loved,” says Brian. Timmy spends his days snuggling with his family, snoozing in his “pita pocket” bed, playing tug-of-war with the neighbor’s Mastiff, and letting out his puppy energy—energy that at one time was restricted to a heavy collar and chain.

It’s hard to believe that Timmy is the same dog from that first photo. Fortunately, he will never have to worry about growing up to become a fighting dog, like so many generations of dogs tied to that very same chain before him.

Los Angeles CountyMuseum of ArtThe Los Angeles County Mu-seum of Art, the largest art museum in the western Unit-ed States, attracts nearly one million visitors each year and contains more than 100,000 works that span from ancient times to the present. Urban Light, an installation on the sidewalk in front of LACMA that incorporates 202 antique street lights, has been one of Los Angeles’ most photo-graphed landmarks since its unveiling in 2008.

La Brea Tar PitsLocated in the heart of the 23-acre Hancock Park and just minutes from Beverly Hills, the La Brea Tar Pits are one of the richest ice age fossil sites in the world and a registered National Natural Landmark. They are still an active exca-vation site, and over the past century paleontologists have found more than three mil-

lion specimens there, includ-ing saber-toothed cats, giant jaguars and mammoths. The three struggling mammoths in the bubbling tar makes for a truly iconic scene.


For the recording of their sophomore album Gold

Fever, San Diego-based dirty-blues twosome Little Hur-

ricane skipped the studio and rented out a 19th-century

apple-packing house in an old gold mining town. For

two weeks, singer/guitarist Tone Catalano and drum-

mer/vocalist C.C. Spina hunkered down with vintage

equipment borrowed from a friend who once recorded

with legendary bands like the Grateful Dead and Deep

Purple. Sweating through a mid-summer heat wave in

their air-conditioner-free surroundings—and often visited

by tarantulas, turkeys, deer, and other local creatures—

Little Hurricane quickly found their new album taking on

a swampy yet ethereal vibe that slyly captures the spirit of

the weirder, wilder corners of Southern California.

Formed in 2010, Little Hurricane builds off their dirty-

blues dynamic for nearly every track on Gold Fever, but

infuses each song with such unexpected and inspired

touches such as the ghosty effects of “Summer Air,” the

swell of strings on the otherwise frenetic “Sorry Son”

(a gut-punching number about C.C.’s brother and his

struggle with addiction, written from her parents’ per-

spective), the horn-soaked soul of “Boiling Water,” the

snakey groove of “No Man’s Land,” and the handclap-

backed strut and growl of “Grand Canyon.” Throughout

Gold Fever, C.C.’s drumming shifts from thundering and

frantic to crisp and razor-sharp, while Tone’s guitar work

encompasses lead-heavy riffs, bluegrass-style twang,

and gorgeously understated soloing. And although Tone

serves as Little Hurricane’s main vocalist, C.C. lends her

honeyed yet earthy vocals to songs like the spooky, sway-

ing “Breathe,” the sultry stomper of a title track, and the

slow-burning but anthemic lead single “Sheep In Wolves

Clothes.”

Each of the songs on Gold Fever was sparked from

close collaboration between Tone and C.C., who first

found each other through a Craigslist ad. Originally from

Chicago, C.C. started playing drums when she was just

ten-years-old (“My dad brought me home the Iron But-

terfly album with ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,’ and that had a big

impact on me wanting to be a drummer,” she says). At-

tending culinary school after high school (and interning at

the House of Blues Chicago’s Foundation Room, where

her love of blues was born), she moved to San Diego and

bought herself a drum kit to get back to playing music.

Join them at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Los Angeles Finish Line

Festival to celebrate your accomplishment with family and

friends on October 26!

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.

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.

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 information 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.

If you have questions, 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…
