Thanks !
What do I have to lose.. nothing. yes I know I am not in my best shape, but it will give me some motivation to start training seriously again :) !
Portland is awesome. Just moved in 1 hour ago !
TXRun Girl - we can definitely have fun and catch up post-race . See you next weekend,
Julia
Justin Lutz and Jenn Donovan will make the team.
Awesome. I sent you an email about lodging if you need somewhere to stay. If not, see you at the meet!
I think you should race too. If you are going to be there anyways, you will regret not racing when you are standing on the sidelines watching, you will wish you were in there.
txRUNNERgirl - go run. The community race is first and you will have a lot of time to recover before the "big" races. You'll feel better having run - much better than just hanging around. Besides, my daughter is running the community run and you'd be the same speed. I'm doing the masters race -- and I'm not ready for it either. Besides, it doesn't look like it will be snowing this time!
Running the community run supports a good cause. The Erik Anderson 4K honors the memory of talented coach and runner for Spokane CC who was killed in an accident last year. Race proceeds will go to a memorial fund.
Asskisser.

You should do it, jrudd! Even if you don't expect anything spectacular, I know you're good enough to compete with the field. I bet you would at least have fun racing.
Wow, thanks a bunch for starting this thread. I live about an hour and a half south of spokane and had no idea the XC champs were there. I know what I'm doing next weekend.
an hour and a half south of Spokane...are you from Lewiston/Clarkston ?
Stalker?
TXrunnerGirl if you are gonna be there you should do the community race. Running is an inclusive sport, anyone who can lace up their shoes can run!

Is this going to be streamed online anywhere. I assume I don't even have to ask if it's going to be on TV.

Thanks for the link.
Seriously, why don't think just go back to having the US Champs combined with the Club Champs in December. It would be such a better event for everyone. The date, depth of field, races offered during Sept-Nov leading up to it, etc.
Back from 1994-1997 that's how they did it and it was the deepest fields possibly ever. The Men's race had about 400 runners in it.
Senior Men 12k
Senior Women 8k
Masters Men 8k
Masters Women 6k
Jr. Men 8k
Jr. Women 6k
Anyone remember the now-defunct series of winter xc races started by Reebok a decade or so ago?
Why isn't Rupp running, or Meb? Why no Teg or Solinsky? They have something better to do than to take the opportunity to starting earning the U.S. distance runners a little respect on the global stage? Pathetic.
Anything going on around the community or night life Friday? I'm a fan who will be there with no reason to go to bed early. How about Saturday night after the competition concludes?
