Assist. High School XC position

Hey guys,

An old teammate and friend is looking for an assistant coach to help him out with his girl's cross country team. Being a woman is a high priority. She need not be fast, or even necessarily a "runner"... 2-3 days a week plus a few saturday's would be ideal- practice is 4-6. The school- Stone Ridge- is in Bethesda MD. The Athletic Director is a wonderful person. shoot me an email at j_m_dwyer @ yahoo dot com


I know it has been a while- and I look forward to reconnecting soon (We're moving into our first home August 15th in Sterling- house party to follow...)

A little self promotion...

So I did a bike race on Saturday... here's how it ended up




Additional photos can be found here.

And here.

Yes it was a CAT5 race... but I'll take it. I mean how often do you get a chance to do that?

Here's to more Champagne popping at Raabe's Rumble this Friday.

Raabe Victory Party!

Come celebrate Chris Raabe's Grandma's Marathon victory with a little help from your friends...

Friday, 7/31 @ 9:00pm -
Mr. Smiths Georgetown UPSTAIRS

FREE drinks and apps starting at 9pm and ending when the tab runs out. Meet there at 9pm, before the crowds commence.

Chris Raabe was the first American to Win Grandma's in 15 years and in doing so qualified for the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials with a 2:15:13, roughly a 2 minute PR. In lieu of a ticker tape parade, we are celebrating with drinks and friends in the heart of historic Georgetown.

We will also take this opportunity to say goodbye to Patrick Reaves. Reaves will soon head to Duke to start a new life as a grad student. PR, as many of you know him, has been an intricate part of our training group over the past couple of years and has helped a lot of us, this poster included, improve their times and performances across the board.

This event is open to ALL runners and their friends

Note - The room upstairs opens at 9pm. If the upstairs area is filled for a private function, we will meet in the main bar.

3104 M Street NW
Washington, D.C., 20007

Swelling our Ranks

If one looks at the results from the 5k yesterday or the Twilighter last week, you will notice how many great runners there are in the DC area. If YOU know of any runners who are interested in running with/for the GRC, please ask them to come to some of the runs. We need to scoop them before others do. If you're a lurker who reads the blog (100+ a day read this ridiculous banter) please consider joining for a store run some time.

Invasion of Northern Virginia




I call on all of you (or really whoever wants to) to cross the Potomac with me on Saturday night and take on the Evil Pacers in their home court. I dare not advertise the race here, but we all know what it is and where it is. Let's attack while we are hot and beat them backwards. Actually, there is no team competition, but either way, it will be a fun scrimmage of sorts.


Current Team UPDATED

Chris Sloane
Jake Klim
Dirk de Heer
Nate Timm

Dickson Mercer

Lucky Break at Rockville?

Weather - Partly cloudy. Low near 60F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

Gotta love cyclists...

Mark Cavendish, points leader in the sprint race at the Tour de France, response to allegations that he called some French douchebag a "frog" in the peloton.  

Basically, "I'm not a racist, I'm just an asshole".

"I get a little hot-headed sometimes, but it's irrelevant the nationality of the rider when you get arsey at someone.  When you're a rider with a public profile, you can't be friends with everybody, it's going to be like that.  For sure I'm going to get arsey at some lad, because I'm an asshole.  But their nationality, and what they look like, and where they come from, is irrelevant."

Vive le Tour.

Ryan McGrath

He got hit by a car in New Jersey last week & is banged up pretty bad. Nothing life-threatening or hopefully career-ending, but he's got a laundry list of broken bones & torn joint issues (knee/shoulder).

Be careful out there. Here's to a fast recover to our good friend up north.

Twilighter Logistics & Wed Workout

Tomorrow, Wednesday, a bunch of us are meeting at B-CC for 3-5 miles of speedwork at 6:30pm. We'll fine-tune the workout during the warm-up as some will likely go less/more per the race and their own needs/wants.

I suggest we meet HERE, at the invited runner room, on Saturday at 7:00pm. At the room we can get our bib number, ditch our bag, hydrate and then head out for a warm-up circa 7:45pm. The gun goes off at 8:45pm. There are a lot of runners and it gets a little confusing, so try and get to the room no later than 7:30 if you want to partake in the warm-up. Please wear the singlet and whatever other GRC garb you might have. I am going to run a sloooow cooldown just after the race before hitting up the Michelobe Ultra tent. Post-race gathering at Gordon-Biersch just a block or two from the finish.

BIOMECHANICS CLINIC AND EVALUATION

Biomechanical Gait Analysis-Max Lockwood from Georgetown RunCo on Vimeo.



TOWPATH AND TERREL HALE

are providing complimentary biomechanics evaluations this Saturday from 1-3pm at the Chevy Chase store. Towpath will be videotaping people's gaits and Terrel will be assessing whether there are imbalances in one's posture. This is a great way to determine whether one is favoring one side or showing a weakness that could lead to injury.

upon completion of the evaluation, you will receive a DVD of your evaluation along with an assessment.

Please give a shout if you are interested in participating.

Holiday Weekend Runs

For those of you staying in town this weekend, let's start planning runs for the long weekend. Most people I've talked to have Friday off, so let's start there. I also want to get my long run out of the way on Saturday so I can fully celebrate our nation's birthday Saturday night. Here's what I'm thinking:

Friday, July 3rd: 9AM run from the Georgetown Store (+/- 10 miles)

Saturday, July 4th: 9AM long run from The Line (Zoo Loop? +/- 15 miles)

Sunday, July 5th: TBD
