Next race : Parkside Aug 5th
I don't know how many of you are running and or racing this summer, but sometimes it helps to run some of the courses that you will see during the season in a more relaxed low stress setting.
Last year Andrew ran in the Parkside CC Classic at the beginning of August. The meet is run on the parkside course which we will race on twice. There were a lot of good high school runners there as well as some people who were lucky to finish. It was a lot of fun and includes a free cook out afterwards ( hot dogs and chips etc..). The cost is $8 in advance and $10 at the gate. I think it would be great if we could get a dozen guys and girls to go down and compete. I would be happy to take a van full if anyone needs a ride. The race is on AUGUST 5TH
The link for the info and the sign up sheet is here.

This is of course still pre season and totally on your own.
Remember you can't wear your school uniform at any of these events.
Last years results are here if anyone is curious.
Also there is a race on August 12th
There is a decent run at Miller park on the 12th. The Hank Aaron state trail 5k. It is all asphalt and tends to be pretty fast. It is a small race but they hand out some pretty decent munchies and door prizes afterwards.
The info is here.

You can't enter these once the season starts on the 14th so this is pretty much the last legal warm up.
Mark Your Calendars now.

The longest day
Andrew is on his way back from China today. He will have already left Beijing at 4:30 pm this afternoon and will arrive in Milwaukee at 8:30 pm tonight. That's a long afternoon. And yes for those of you who are keeping track he may just get here in time to storm the bastille at 9:00... unless he whimps out.
Good luck to everyone else who is running ( after they help Dom out at the bike race of course).
UPDATE: Back in time. Andrew and Dennis ran together at the front and represented Shorewood well. Dennis came in around 15:50 and Andrew at 16:07. Not bad. Not bad at all.
