Weekend Outlook

Not much going on in town this weekend... the Beaufort Road Race and the Beat the Heat 5K are both on Saturday if you feel like traveling. Beat the Heat is also the NC USATF 5K championships, so it ought to be fast! Good luck if you're racing, and have fun going for a nice, easy run if you're not!

The final results for the PFT Challenge are also in... and Brad's sister Katie Wade won! Brad was second, Rusty was third, I was fourth, and Mike was fifth. The events were a lot of fun, and although I'm glad to say that I could pass the running section for any branch of the military, I'm pretty sure they would laugh me out of the situps and pushups/hang test!

And, for World Record Friday, I bring you this heart-warming tale from the man who owns the Tour d'Afrique Record (Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa). Robert Knol made the 11,198 kilometer journey in 70 days, 3 hours, and 50 minutes, crossing 10 countries completely unassisted. He also turned this incredible effort into a fundraising opportunity to raise money for safe water and sanitation facilities in schools in the town he grew up in - Nyanje, Zambia.
