Hello

I'm running my first race with GRC this weekend, so I wanted to say hi. I've come to a few group runs at the Chevy Chase store, but I'm looking forward to meeting more of you. And if anyone wants to try and carpool or meet up before/after the 8k race this Saturday, let me know...

Thanks,
Shannon

See you on Saturday. I will be at the race cheering folks on while getting a preview of the course.

Hi Shannon,
As is my tradition when not running in a race, I film it and try to make an amusing video. I think a carpool is being organized.

I have talked to some other people about this through email. To those I have not spoken with, post here if you would also be interested in carpooling up.

KLIM said...

I am happy to carpool. I live in North Besthesda or Grosvenor on Red Line...right along the way.

Peter - can I do a play-by-play for the video in a Welsh accent?

Welcome to the team, Shannon! Have fun on Saturday. Hopefully today's rain saturated the ground enough to make the course good and muddy. Ah, cross country!

Jake, if we are going to do another emmy nominated race video, we need to do it right. You need a field correspondent's hat and jacket.(Something outlandish) I will bring a handheld mic.

Women’s Open 8K Race: 10:00AM
Men’s Open 8K Race: 11:00AM

Jake, meet at Grosvenor at 9:00AM?

I just went from dignified scotch drinking gentleman to a clown on the sidelines of a cross country race...

That being said, see you at 9!

Anyone else?

Peter said...

However you want to play the character is fine. Just grab one of those hats off of your wall and we're good to go. Leave the scotch at home as it is a state park.

Shannon said...

sorry for the late response, but can I catch a ride with you (2?) from grovesnor tomorrow, still? and this video thing sound mildly terrifying. didn't know my debut race would also be my first foray into the film world... hope it's good and muddy out there.

KLIM said...

Yes, sure.

Towpath - can you corral all the metro riders together when you get off the train and meet at the spot where I usually pick you up?

I will pull up at 9:01am. Cool and late.

Peter said...

I will corral everyone. (Look a guy with a tripod camera bag)

Shannon, our videos are anything but terrifying. (See example below)
