Despite the rising temperatures and dire "alerts" from weather.com (although the "fitness and comfort index" is still listed as moderate), it looks to be another action-packed weekend for TAF Racing. On Saturday, Brian and Tim are headed to Winston Salem for the Ultimate Runner Challenge. This event features the 100m, 400m, 800m, 1-mile, and a 5k... all of which you have to run, and run well, to win (that sounds insane, yet awesome at the same time). On Sunday, Sean and Tim are competing in the BASF Smile Train Sprint Triathlon.
Tonight, Bobby Mack (TAF Elite) is running in the Men's Open 5000m race at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. There is only one heat, so Bobby will be racing with Bernard Lagat! The meet will be on ESPN from 8-10 (5000m is at 8:35PM).
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. Also, the TAF Half Marathon Program is meeting for a training run on Saturday morning... so come on out and help! #20
And, because it's "world record Friday" and has been ridiculously hot for over a week- the longest water slide riding distance covered in 24hrs is 1,140.94 km (708.95 miles). This record was set by a team of 10 in Germany in September, 2007. To put this in perspective, this is approximately the distance between Boston and Raleigh (ok, this is kind of cool, the "suggested route" on Google maps is exactly 708miles).
