Club Members and Guests:
We continue our busy fall schedule of races, workouts, and, as ever, need for volunteers to carry all this off. A brief summary:
1. 20-Miler: First, a tip of the hat to race director Chuck Evans, race coordinators Bob & Delabian Thurston, and all the volunteers who made possible another very successful National Capital 20-Miler on September 24. Despite the humid weather, we had a great turn-out and plenty of support for the runners. Thanks again to all.
2. Rediscovery 10K: Our next race is Sunday, October 1, at West Potomac Park -- the Rediscovery 10K. Please join us to run. We also urgently need volunteers for the finish line. I know there is some "let-down" after a big event like the 20-Miler, but please help if you can. Contact me if you can help.
3. Landon School Cross-Country Meet: On Saturday, October 14, the Club will provide finish line services at an invitational high school cross-country meet at the Landon School in Bethesda. Also, at the close of the high school races, around 5:15, there will be an open 3-Mile event sponsored by DCRRC.
Please consider volunteering for this event. It's a long day, so if you can only come for a portion, that is fine.
4. 10-Mile Training Program: The final Saturday workout in the 10-Mile training program is Saturay morning at 7:30 at the Lincoln Memorial. A brief talk on race day strategy will follow. Good luck to all participants, and many thanks to the coaches who made this program possible, particularly head coach Kristin Blanchat!
5. October Track Workouts: We will be on the track the first two weeks of October, on Wednesdays October 4 and 11. After that, the workouts will switch to Tuesday night for the remainder of October only. Workouts will start at the usual time of 7:15 on Oct 4 and 11; workouts will start at 7:00 on the 17th and 24th.
Enjoy the great running weather that October brings!
