Weekend Outlook

It looks to be a busy weekend in NC... hopefully the weather will cooperate! On Saturday, there's the St. Francis of Assisi Run for Peace 5K, or, if you're up for a little adventure, the Gladiator 5K (WakeMed Soccer Park). The TrySports Battle at Buckhorn Tri and the Over the Mountain Tri are also both on Saturday if you're looking to mix up the traditional run in a more conventional manner. Sunday brings the Inside Out Classic 10K and Half Marathon (the 13.1 distance being the last event in the Second Empire spring series). As for the random 5K/10K race of the weekend... after carefully scrutinizing all of the racing websites at Cup-of-Joe last weekend, I think the vote was 4:0 for the On The Move Charity Run at the ATT on Saturday (...because Winston-Salem seemed like too far to drive for an 11K).

And, for World Record Friday... y'all might not know this, but I am terrified of dogs. Even when they are behind fences, in cars, supposedly safely secured somewhere, I still freeze when I hear one bark. And, well... it turns out that a dog might be able to escape from a car after all! Striker, who is apparently a very smart border collie, can claim the fastest time for a dog unwinding a non-electric car window... 11.34sec. Even though this record has remained unchallenged since 2004, well, I'm happy we switched to "summer speed" mode at the track!
