Long Beach marathon logistics

Quoted message said:

Hi,

I am doing the LB skating marathon next month. My plan is to drive down
to LB from Sunnyvale, CA, stay on sat night (10/15), race on sunday and
come back the same day to the bay area. Let me know if anyone is
willing to share a room and wants to carpool. I haven't booked a room
yet so any recommendations for a place near the race start/finish will
be appreciated. I called a few places today and they are either sold
out are way too expensive!

Thanks!

Raj,
Just a word of caution. Rebecchi or Freese will go with you, but after
you drink a GA, you'll start feeling groggy and pass out. When you
awaken, you'll walk funny and your [censored] will be too sore to compete.
