Arrowhead is not on a week-end

The next meet is back at Arrowhead. It is tomorrow ( Thursday). The fun starts at 4:00 and ends around 7:00.

This is the big race, as opposed to the little race two weeks ago. The boy's varsity race will feature Andrew Perkins and Joe Stillin among others. These guys run to win and they are a lot of fun to watch. This is a very flat and very fast course with a downhill finish that gives up low times to everyone, except apparently when it is under water like last time.

The boys will go out under 5:00 and will probably be under 10 at the 2 mile mark. The winning time should be in the 15's unless the weather is really bad. The girl's race should go in the 14's.

There is a Freshman race at 4:00 but we don't typically run anyone in the warm-up races.
The girl's JV will start at 4:40 but can go early if the weather is bad so come a few minutes early. The last race is the Boy's varsity at 6:00, because it is the marquis feature and they want the crowds to hang around for the end.

This is a great course for spectators. You can easily see the major mile markers and the finish without moving more than a hundred yards or so. However because of the time of day the sun is an issue if it is out. The mosquito's will also be thick and hungry. If you don't have bug spray you will probably want to watch from the car. It is also supposed to rain. They won't cancel unless there is lightening or a flood.

the directions are here:

(basically take 94 to 16 to exit 182 and then ask).

There can be traffic at that time so add an extra 20 minutes to your usual drive time.

See you all there!
