Teams for Baltimore and NCR Marathons

We missed the boat last year and didn't sign up in time for the Baltimore Marathon Relay and it closed out. I haven't bothered to check this year's registration, but if anyone is interested in putting together a team, please let me know. The date of the race is Saturday, October 11th, 8am. We obviously would need 4 runners, male or female, doesn't matter.

The other big race is NCR Trail Marathon and Relay. Race date is Saturday, November 29th, 9:45am up in Sparks. Last year, Kip and I formed Falls Road Red Team and won but still lost to the overall marathon winner cause I ran like a puss. This year, it'll be a different story. Team record is 2:34:44 by MCRR. The Gerbereuxs ran last year, and Brennan/Tom Stott formed Falls Blue. I think it would be sweet to get a bunch of teams together, but the teams are capped at 50 so we need to get on it. Team fee is $85 prior to August 1, $105 after.

FYI, the co-ed team record is 2:48:50. I think if Alli can put down a 1:30 (that's doable, right?) and Justin can go 1:18 or better, you've got that. The female team record is really impressive, 2:50:44. I think we can get that too though.

Oh, and I call dibs on Kip.

If it is going to be cold (i.e below 60 degrees) you better make sure I am actually on the bus before the race starts ...
