All thirteen elite adult athletes will start the race and at the end of each lap the last place runner will be eliminated. The high school students will win prizes based on the order their randomly assigned athlete finishes, with the prizes getting better the longer their runner stays in the race. After the conclusion of the meet, the students can take their numbered paddles to any of the four Pacers Running Stores locations (Alexandria, Arlington, Silver Spring, Fairfax) to receive their prize.<BR/><BR/>In terms of pre-Twilighter races, I plan on entering the DCRRC Age graded 4 mile run at Carderock. It's on the morning of the 4th of July. I believe it's a flat out and back on the towpath. I will be using it as a test effort to gauge my fitness. This is a very low key race judging from past results.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904168127656651359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823626532533196485.post-39047217607617681922008-04-28T09:35:00.000-04:002008-04-28T09:35:00.000-04:00though i am not 100% sure, i would say that the re...though i am not 100% sure, i would say that the reason are guys finished as a pack is due to regular training as a group/with each other, etc. i do not believe many of the other teams do this.<BR/><BR/>its called group love:)MAXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394290912307873690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823626532533196485.post-38989502765123962492008-04-27T21:55:00.000-04:002008-04-27T21:55:00.000-04:00The BAA guys live for this race, so taking first w...The BAA guys live for this race, so taking first was no surprise. Then there's the evil Pacers, Wardian and Wade are studs. The fact that G'town running placed 4th out of a gazillion teams is impressive, but the spread between PR, Bain, Klim, H Goats, and P Murph is insame, most teams don't accomplish that in a 10K. <BR/><BR/>Four minute 50 second spread for all five runners, no other team's top three could match that. Evidence that Georgetown Running is building something more than fast runners.Matiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929571728863292988noreply@blogger.com
