1. Bluemont 5K: Big thanks to Richard Rapine and all his volunteers to putting on the Bluemont 5k on Thursday. Despite the hot temperatures, there were some great performances. Congratulations to David Atkiss and Mindy Thomas for breaking the tape as the top overall male and female runners.
2. Picnic and 3M Cross-Country Run: Number 7 in the Bunion Derby is the annual Club picnic and 3M cross-country race, Sunday August 12 at the Landon School in Bethesda. Please plan to join us. Unfortunately, we will not have access to the pool, so our plans for informal "bi-iathlon" have been scratched.
3. One-hour Track Run: Bob Platt will be directing this year’s one-hour track run at St Stephen's & St Agnes School 1000 Saint Stephens Rd, Alexandria, VA at 7 pm. This is a unique event, and there will be special prizes for those that break the 10 mile barrier.
4. 20-Miler: Registration is now open for this signature race on the Club's schedule. Sunday September 30, 2007, at 7:30 am. PLEASE consider volunteering for this event. It takes a lot of hands to do all the work necessary -- you do not have to stay for the entire race; in fact, getting a "new crew" who can arrive at 10:00 and stay until noon is always a big help.
That’s all for now. Stay cool and hydrated. Ed will be back next week.
