Weekend Outlook

We have a bunch of teammates competing in the Capital City Classic 10K (8:30AM; start/finish on Fayetteville St.). This is the USATF NC 10K Championship race, so it should be a good one! The White Lake Half is on Saturday, and I know we have teammates competing this weekend (am I'm not sure about next). The Dash on Ash Young Life 5K (Goldsboro, NC) and the Remembrance 5K (Pine Level, NC) are also on Saturday, and I'm not sure if anyone was planning on the Catch Me If You Can 5K/10K in Garner on Sunday. Also on Sunday, we have the opportunity to volunteer at the Duke Twilight Meet in order to raise funds for the team (signup sheet... I think I have the settings right now... apparently there are separate checkboxes for viewing and editing). And, for World Record Friday (and in honor of Mother's Day), the largest pram/stroller walk (multiple locations) took place in Europe on May 13, 2006. A total of 2015 prams (each containing a child) were pushed for a minimum of 1-mile. And, to give y'all something to think about as you run up Wilmington St. on Sat., Russell Stokes ran 6.2 miles in 34:19, which is the fastest 10K while pushing a pram.

Oh, and I forgot the "most important" piece of "team news" in Monday's post... the first official GU GU Girls (and Guys) practice will take place immediately following the track workout on Tuesday. For those of you who haven't heard, Gilligan (I mean Dave) feels that our team needs an official cheerleading squad, and... so... yeah. Now, there are 10 flavors of GU Energy Gel, so I can only assume that means that we need at least 10 people; if we branch into Roctanes, that's another 4. Tri-Berry, Mint Chocolate, Espresso Love, Jet Blackberry, Lemon Sublime, and Cherry Lime are already taken...
