ZZRun you are a nasty jerk. I think...no, I know that you're the one who needs to remove YOUR cranium from where it is securely lodged in your rectum. People like you, when they lack the ability to answer a question, which is often, are forced to resort to grammar school comebacks that make little or no sense. It's terribly obvious and terribly sad.
"How does a runner transport his spikes from campus to the track and back?"
you're kidding, right?
that's right the track on top of yates is gone. GU pratices at either washington-lee hs, episcopal hs, or the men sometimes go to american. most of the time we run to washington-lee, but if we go to episcopal on saturdays they drive there. if they run to a track, the coaches bring the gear in vans. it's not very complicated. it actually helps to get in mileage when your warmup and cooldown are 3 miles each. on days when they're not going hard, sometimes they'll run there and ride back. there actually is talk about redoing the duke ellington track that is in the burleith area right above georgetown but don't hold your breath, the residents are protesting. the money is there but the support is not. maybe someday the great stadium called the frank gagliano track will be built and GU can actually practice at home and have home meets.
mistake- should say, "most of the time they run to washington-lee, but if they go to episcopal on saturdays they drive there." i ran there a long time ago, can't say "we" anymore.
screw the home meets.. it would mean the return of Saturday night naked quarters after Pub closing, oh yeah.. I guess you'd also have to get them to re-open the Pub

ZZrun is Dave Dobrynski who was a stud runner at Georgetown in the 80s. I think he works for the National Road Runners club or something. I don't get the hate.
I went to georgetown and I remeber throwing my spikes in the back of gags and then henners car. I never ran with my spikes in hand, perhaps once or twice but not that I can remember. I also remember taking buses to some track in VA and warming up on site. Not sure if that was WL but it had a funky shaped track and we weren't allowed to take our shirts off. It was actually beneficial in many ways. Lord knows I had time to kill
and the track was a bit nicer and there wasnt the problem of howling winds ruining a workout from time to time or bubbles in the track tripping up a runner. I also got to marvel at the speed in which the pentagon was repaired since we drove buy it three times a week.
Who makes Georgetown's top 5 this year in XC?
Everyone who is railing on someone for asking how to get their spikes 4 miles to the track has never had to carry pairs of shoes in hand for 30 minutes across busy roads. It is an enormous pain in the behind. But ridiculous, unnecessary insult is to be expected. It is, after all, Letsrun.com.
I used to run on the roof track in undergrad. Wasn't that bad. Holman flew. Haven't kept up though with what's going on there though re: new track. Kind of surprised the alumni association hasn't started hitting up for donations.--it would be one cause I would donate for.

What ever happened to the one on the roof of a building? Why did they do away with it? I was never there but imagine that it must've been incredibly windy.

Carrying shoes for 5 miles is a pain in the rear end. Your trite, ridiculous reply is both unwarranted and idiotic. Keep your bitter crap to yourself and consider medicine for anger management.
It seems some of you love to fly off the handle just for the sake of belligerence. Grow up.
stop being such a wuss and just use a spike bag
