Pics from USATF Championships

Well Ladies. I had an awesome time this fall and this year. We came out strong and I think surprised a lot of people. I had a blast today and all season. I can't wait till next year when we will have a sea of TC RC jerseys out for the season.

Today was a VERY CLOSE one, but Collegeville edged us by a few and we finished 3rd. Our team work out on the course showed however, and I am so proud to run with you ladies. The points for the season are as follows:

1. Run N Fun 29
2. Collegeville 19

3. TC Running Co 13

4. Team Unattached 10

Once we get our full team out there, we will be a force to reckoned with.

The team meeting to decide next years races has been set. We need as many people as possible out for this. I want to push to change the 15K to 3 people for scoring, and if we want a shorter circuit, we need voices. The way it is set now, anyone who shows up at the meeting can vote. I think it should be one girls, one guys for each team. I will email the date to you once I get the confirmation from Ed Whetam, LDR Chair.

Have safe holidays, and lets plan a few runs.

Fort Snelling

So here is the list for runners and order. Race starts at 9:00 at Pike Island. Take 494 to Port Road/Fort Snelling exit. Follow signs to park. Park in the back lot and walk back in across the bridge. You will see everyone. I will get there about 8:30, since I will run last leg I can jog later. I will bring form, money for team at that time.

See you all Sunday!

Fort Snelling Relays

It is time to begin the Fort Snelling Relays and the start of 6 cross country races. Our first event is a 5 x 5K relay team. We don't necessarily need 5 runners for this, but 3 is pushing it. One runner can do two legs, but not back to back.

I need the team and order known before the race. I am not sure that I can as my hamstring is very tight and won't release.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you are planning on running this one.
