I RSVP'd for tonight at 7pm! I'll do next Wed too at a more solid 8-8:30 pace (without cameras...)

Just looked at the course Map! I love the Upper Loop 5 milers!!! And I can get to the start with a short 10 minute warm up. Can't wait!

Hi Elizabeth, how are your legs today? Megan and I did a dry, very dry, mostly walk of this last night just to check the layout. You should do the practice run with us next Wednesday. Planning on meeting at 7PM. It's one of the Meetup events. Join us! We will be running this of course below race pace at around 8 - 8:30 min/mile pace.

Leg is better, thank you!!, but the foot is all tinkly still, eeek! I should be fine in 1 or 2 days, hopefully! This will teach me, i'll never stretch out again!!! JK!
I already have plans for Wednesday but if I free up, I'll let you know!

Post Race brunch at "El Paso" mexican restaurant if you guys want to.
let me know how many of you are interested so i can do reservations this place has a nice outdoor space good for big groups.

Alejandra, thanks for arranging for brunch! Put me and Stephanie down for it.

What time would you be going? I am planning to do some 10 miles after the race.

Thanks Alejandra! Jenny, myself, Dave, and another friend will come so it'll be me plus 3 for brunch.

Hey Alejandra, that's a great idea! Our going-to-brunch rate for our races usually comes out to 2/3rds of the RSVPs so I think a reservation for 20 at 10:30am would be accurate. Thanks for taking care of this!

Is anybody going to get the bib number on thursday and coming to east river park at night?

I plan to. Can I pick up for anyone?

Hey Luciano, there's no souvenir for this event, and since only teams do this race there's no bottleneck at the registration tent. You can pick up your bib up to 15 min before race start, so if you can get there by 7:45am (for men; 8:45am for women), I'd recommend just doing that.

That is awesome. Thank you Rich.

Looks like la crème de la crème of the whippet is running, so you won't need me. Good luck all and long live the whippets. Me and my bike will be on the course to cheer you up.

I'm down for brunch after.

Today is the last day to register online here: http://nyrr.org/races/2010/r0807x00.asp. Also, please RSVP here for the race and let Alejandra know if you are coming to brunch after!

RSVP me plus one, of course my mom will be there!

@Rob Yanes-- NYRR on Twitter says you can register til midnight!!

nyrr: Team Championships this Sat in Central Park.Qualified teams can reg til midnite tonight. Good luck! http://ow.ly/2ksdq #nyrr

Hey Elizabeth, I noticed after I'd posted that, that the reg was till 11:59..PM, not AM, oops. I tried to delete my post to cover up my mistake. Thanks for the heads up anyhow though!

no worries! It used to be at noon before so it's easy to get confused!!!

If anyone missed the online registration deadline, you can register at nyrr or the day of the race!

Alejandra - I'd be interested in joining for brunch after the race, if there's still availablility.

Thanks for organizing ale! Count me in for brunch.

Hey Alejandra, I'm down for brunch.

I'm in for brunch too if you can still squeeze me in Alejandra!

One more for brunch. :)

My first race wearing the Whippets jersey! One more reason to be excited. : )

Will be heading to "Uptown lounge" after the race. I got reservations for 25 people at 11 am.
http://uptownloungenyc.com They will send me a prefix menu later.

Good luck everyone and will see you all on sat.

i`m in for brunch too

Hi Alejandra, if there's still room, i'd like to join for brunch too. Thank you.

Good luck everyone! Looking forward to seeing everyone run, and then hang out for a post-race brunch. It's going to be a great race!

Please count me in for brunch too!

Hey Alejandra, one more for brunch, thanks.....

Also, I know a lot of us are nursing some bumps and bruises so it goes without saying that if there's any part of your that's sore or you feel faint due to humidity go to the First Aid tent immediately upon finishing and get your ice and salt packet. We have a lot of runs ahead of us so listen to your body. I will be wrapped tightly in ice myself afterwards!

Adding to Patricia's comments, my advice is: finish the race first, then throw up, if you must. It's way faster than trying to do it the other way around. ALSO -- many thanks to Jennie, Char and any other Whippet who is coming out to cheer. The boys could definitely use some cheering at the 8am race, and most of us will return the favor for the girls at 9am.

Scott, I hope I don't need to throw up. And if so, please, no pics!

whoa! 38 people coming to this race!? awesome. i'll be there for brunch too!

Great race, everyone. Matt, thanks for pulling me through the end. You ran an awesome race.

NYRR posted a nice picture of the team! http://www.nyrr.org/resources/photos/2010/team_championsh...

You guys are also in the Men's video, around 5:40

Matt!

Awesome job to both the men's and women's teams! Congrats to all those who blew away their previous PR's. Whippets Rock!

I was a bit disappointed with my performance, but whatever... I posted our pic and race report here, you're all gonna be famous now!!!

Just saw the NYRR videos. I remember Lisa and a few others mentioned this, but we should consider creating a vinyl banner with our team name and logo on it. If a bunch of us contribute $5, I think this could cover the cost. I would be down.

Great idea Kino. Matt and I will look into it. Ken was mentioning we should get a super wacky wavy inflatable guy. Or a feather sign.

As long as it's not a giant rat!

The storm yesterday left most of my surrounding neighborhoods w/o power and looking like a war zone. My cable & internet was down, but luckily I still had power and the DVR was working fine. So I turn on the latest episode of "Running" from the YES Network, and watched the highlights from the NYRR Bronx Half and the NYRR Team Championships. Way to get yourselves on TV guys (even if it's just for a few seconds)!.

Oh, I had to grab the video ghetto style, since I don't have the gadgetry to do a digital transfer.
