Weekend Outlook

Things are starting to pick up in the Triangle-area in terms of racing:

• Umstead Trail Marathon (Saturday, 9AM)
• Get Your Rear in Gear 5k Run/Walk (Saturday, 9AM)
• MBA Wolfpack Run (Saturday, 10AM)
• Irondog 5k (Saturday, 2PM)
• St. Paddy's Run Green 8k (Saturday, 3PM)

Just remember to sign up for whatever you choose! In other news, team RRO / FASTcoaching had a good showing at the 1st Quadrennial WFAR Leap Year Lope 2.9-miler on 2/29. John W., Matt C., and Bill C. did well on the men's side, "leaping over" many women (and finishing in the top of the men's pack) despite starting 2:29-min back. And, although I managed not to get passed by any of the guys, I was no match for the high school girl that won it. Jacci P. and Isabella Frey (who was paced by Laura) held off many potential leapers as well, running strong on a hilly course! Good times...
