Gentlemen,
The 5k Championship is almost upon us. Here are the nuts and bolts. Look for your name to see which squad you are on.
Who: After much deliberation, we have decided to spread the talent around. This does not mean that I will be doing another pin-up calendar, but what it does mean is that we will have 3 teams that will compete for the top spot and take 1-2-3. Everyone, down to our 5 and 6 guy need to bring their A-Game if this going to work. When we get down to the 5k range, there are a lot of guys who come out of the woodwork and drop a solid performance. We have to be prepared for some stiff competition since we aren't guaranteed anything. Note: If you want in, let me know and I can get you on a team ASAP!
