I was chased by a few snowflakes this morning on my run down to Mt. Savage. I also saw that the forecast for tomorrow has an inch for Frostburg.
Do we think snow will play a role for Saturday's race? I know I heard 57 degrees for Saturday and I think Coach Mickey said he heard 67, so it is hard to tell.
Did anyone else see the article about the race that made it in the Region section of the Times-News today? It was so much better than those other race bits that only make it in the "Sports Briefs" section. It had some quotes from the Garrett basketball coach about why they choose the race for their charity, and even some quotes from our own Dave Ritchie about the evolution of the race and the difficulty of the course.
Personally, I did not know the race used to be held at Big Run State Park in the past.
Who do we know is going to show up besides our favorite hometown honey, just recently freed from a bout with the flu?
Let's get some conversation going about this race. I'd love to see that 26:49 record get rocked, and if it's a nice day, I'd say that should be well within range for some people in the race.

Dan,
I really expect to see some of the guys from Morgantown come down. Maybe not Simpson the younger or Sabatino, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Batey there with Travis Simpson. If that is the case, then yes, that record will get rocked, snow or not.

My prediction is that Jaron will break the record. I hope the record is broken and held by a hometown fella. I predict a big turnout and fast times if the weather holds out.

Is the registration area near the Discovery Center by chance?

Registration is near the Discovery Center but is not at that building. You can park in the Discovery Center parking lot, but you'd have to walk down the hill to registration.
Registration is at the Deep Creek Lake maintenance office which is the first right hand turn once you get on State Park Road if you come in on Toothpick Road. It would be the last left immediately before the bridge onto Toothpick Road if you came in on Rock Lodge and then onto State Park Road. Hope that helps. I would just park at the Discovery Center and ask somebody. They will do a better job at getting you there than I can.

Talked to Randy today. He said 145 runners have preregistered. That could mean over 200 runners for sat.

You went sub 5? That's probably faster than I can go right now. I ran a horrible 11:30 3200m trail last week so look on the bright side.... you didn't run that and only jaron and dan can say anything to you

who cares about you being an idiot- 62 to 4:47 is something that should never happen.....but more importantly.....why didnt you tell us that ricky ran 13:57?
are you not aware of the magnitude of such a race? thank you for disappointing me yet again....jerk!
no im kidding- please do not be upset about running 4:47- you know you are not a miler- you know going out in 62 is moronic- dont do it again- move on- keep running- plain and simple
so long!
P.S. i am not sorry that i will be missing my first tuesday/thursday AM run in about three weeks- i will much more gladly go to classes! DAN

Yeah, Dan sorry you missed it as well. JT didn't go quite so hard today. I decided to run two loops this morning. I ended up running 38:19 on the first one and back around in 35:53. It was quite a nice run - really enjoyed it except for the wind and the snowflakes beating the crap out of my face. Scott....WHY?  That's all that I am going to say. Read that Ricky's 5k was a lap short. So around a 14:40 since Kent is a 300m track. Maybe Scott can confirm this. I read it on runthearb.com message board, but I read a lot of CRAP on there. |
