Hey, Rod -- I will organize our 2/24 relay team. I'll put you on the list. But if someone says they want to be on the the relay team, they MUST make it there, even if it's a blizzard, or they will forever be talked about with scorn by everyone else. Also, join us at our track training workouts on Thursdays!

As of 2/10, here's who is DEFINITELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, SWEARING ON THEIR ANCESTORS' GRAVES that are running the relay on 2/24: Scott, Russell, Jim, Annette, Evelyn. (Did I miss anyone?) Spots are open for Mark, Rich, Luke, Hideki, Shay or anyone else who can confirm that NO MATTER WHAT, short of death or hospitalization, they'll be there on 2/24. (I'm also taking alternates.) You're welcome to join the team no matter how fast or slow, just follow through if you commit. Thx!

I will be there and do the relay! I'm not a super fast sprinter but like to think I'm pretty reliable..

Is the relay later/at the end of the meet? I have class downtown til 630, but can make it up to the armory by 730.

take it easy,Shay,the relay will not begin until 9:30pm at the earliest estimate
I estimate the time is as follows:
3000m 7pm-8:30pm
1500m 8:30pm-9:30pm
10,000m relay* 9:30pm-10:30pmPosted February 11, 2011 at 9:52 PM -
luke
also,I found the videos on the Armory track webiste pretty useful.
http://ny.milesplit.com/videos/tags/2010/indoor
So next time,I will strategically distribute the pace.
1500m can use 1M strategy
3000m can use 2M strategy
1000mx10 relay can use 4x800m strategyPosted February 12, 2011 at 12:41 AM -

Scott, Please put me down for the relay? how will it work? it's not 5 consecutive 200's right...we hand the batton after each 200s right? cause either wise i'll die
Posted February 16, 2011 at 11:41 PM -
Scott B.
Rod: you're in. Please RSVP to this event! It's not 5 consecutive 200s -- you do 1 200, hand off, then 4 minutes later the baton comes back to you and you do your next 200, etc.

Sorry, totally forgot I signed up for this. Very out of shape and probably wouldn't represent the team well. Shame because last year was SO much fun!!!
Posted February 23, 2011 at 10:47 AM -
Scott B.
Thanks, Mark. OK, the team is set: Russell, Jim, Annette, Evelyn, Rich, Luke, Rod, Marvin, Shay, Megan. Please arrive by 8:00 to secure your spot and practice handoffs. Alternates -- other teams are usually looking for spare runners. (Note: we will only have one DWRT team, not two.)

AnnettePacer: 8:30-9:00Long night into morning :) Had a blast watching DWRT run, they were machines. The relay was so awesome and again I cannot believe Scott got me back on a track, I learned a lot about where I am and it was well worth no sleep! Ben and Ale were beyond awesome as they stayed and kept us in good spirits all night and gave us awesome memories to look back on when we are all in our 100's! Go Whipps :)

BenTeam Photographerexciting to see the whippet men and women in the 1500 and 3000, but gotta say the capper of the evening was definitely the relay--10,000 meters of speed and determination.Checked-in it was very exciting and worth the wait. everyone did themselves and the team proud.
