Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly news and events roundup of all things Whippet-related.
– Matt and Simon

• Note: Apparel is no long available at Jackrabbit. Russ Stram has volunteered to distribute apparel out of his PT clinic in midtown starting as early as next week. More information to follow soon.
• We have a new discount available – 15% off VO2, lactate threshold, and metabolic efficiency testing at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Sky has done the test and it looks really cool. Information here: http://www.meetup.com/dashing-whippets/messages/boards/thread/48936710/#128028493
