Ball So Hard U.

Pete was ordering singlets the other day and it needed a team name.  And not like a "TWSS" team name, a team belonging to a school.  I said why not use Ball So Hard University, they play in the Hip Hop North Conference.  With the BSHU mantra on the forefront of Baltimore's mind this weekend, let's hope they cause New England to have a long winter!

We ordered some singlets.  We should have them in time for Club Challenge.  Speaking of Club Challenge...

This is me officially reminding Conrad, Nate, and Tristram, to sign up!  We are almost full with our whopping 23 guys and 18 girls.  Even Chrissie signed up!  PS, I love that you signed up as Christy.

This is also a reminder about our workout scheduled for Sunday.  This workout will take place regardless of the conditions, which I'm hearing may be less than stellar.  Come prepared, dry clothes for post-run, towel, etc.  Bring water bottles and I'll carry them in the car for you.  In order to get the day moving, please be there prior to 9am, and warmed up and ready to run right at 9. 

In addition to the challenge of Club Challenge, I challenge you to another challenge:

How many guys can we get under 60 minutes?  And how many girls can we get under 70 minutes?

Howard County, as usual, is fielding a very strong team for both men and women, and Westminster RRC's women's team is always solid.  Last year, our women's team was very strong and expects to be competitive again, while our men were outraced by HCS.  In order to avoid that from happening again, I think we'll need to have all of our scorers (12) under 58:30.  For the women (only 4 scorers, a truly unfavorable setup) we'll need to have them under 1:06, if not faster.

No matter the outcome, I am positive we'll have some great performances that will set the bar for the rest of the season!  So let's get things started with Sunday's workout, and then a Ravens victory!

Chrissie, I'll give you $20 if you race in a superhero cape.

Oh yeah and don't anybody get any ideas of me offering up $$ for running fast this year!

Meg- I'll consider it. Also, I prefer to be paid in beer.

Meg said...
