Human Race Info

Hello TU Runners:

The 2008 USATF MN Team Circuit is about to begin! YAHOO! The first race will be the Human Race 8k this Sunday. I know a number of you have already registered, but if you have not registered, and plan to run, you can access the information by clicking on the "Human Race" link on the right side of the blog.

Please make sure you are also a member of USATF. You can get your USATF number at www.usatfmn.org.

The race start is 1:20 pm. Let’s try and meet as a team prior to the start at about 1:10 on the south side of Summit. This race usually has two start lines on Summit Ave. The women normally are on the right side as you face the road for the start so let’s try and meet at this location. The forecast is for a high of 41 degrees – partly cloudy. Perfect race conditions! For those that ran the CC circuit, I think we can get away with wearing our singlets with maybe a long sleeve underneath. I may wear longer shorts or Capri tights. We will have to see what factor the wind may play as well. For those new to the team, just look for the women in PINK!

After the race, I hope you will all join in the celebration at O-Gara’s Pub located at 164 Snelling Ave. in St. Paul. This will be a great opportunity to meet your teammates and celebrate our first race together as a team! Anne and I will talk briefly about the team and the race circuit and I will have the TU sport bras available. The cost is $18.00 if you want to purchase one (see photo below). There will also be drawings for some cool Nike Gear!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions. I’m looking forward to seeing you all Sunday!

Take care,

Deb
