DON CURRAN 5K, JANUARY 2006
Peter Haggerty here, Running Club co-advisor
Just a quick tip and some thoughts for running the Ogden 10k tomorrow.
Here's the weather forecast:
- Tonight (Friday): Flurries and snow showers this evening becoming more scattered later. Low around 25F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 60%.
- Tomorrow: Snow flurries in the early morning will give way to partly cloudy skies during the day. High 38F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph.
#1. Not so cold or nasty, but notice the wind. Fifeteen to 25 mph is strong so be sure to wear, if you have it, a light type windbreaker jacket on the outside and a hat/ear muffs.
#2. Bring a dry shirt/sports bra to change into after the race. This will make waiting around for the awards ceremony and relaxing with the post-race bites much more enjoyable. And change quickly after you finish. If you hang outside after you finish running, you have about 3 to 5 minutes before your body starts to really lose heat and you get cold. If you go inside, I'm pretty sure there will be restrooms in the heated shelter that you can use to change clothes. (I have not done this race in the Freezeroo series before so I can't give you definite information about this.) Changing into a dry shirt makes post-race hang time in winter much more pleasant.
#3. I'll bring a camera so let's try to gather around the Running Club banner – will someone bring this? – before the race begins and get a cool group photo. (like the one aaove from last year).
#4. Again, often at these races people bring homemade bites to supplement the bagels and fruit and hot drinks supplied by the Freezeroo people. It would be much appreciated by all the runners, for example, if something appeared compliments of the Running Club Maybe puppy chow? You don't have to make a lot of it. It's more the gesture that the substance.
#5. If you have Running Club sweatshirts, remember to wear them at the race.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and experiencing this course for the first time with the Club. [P.S. My friend tells me that there is a good long uphill about mile 3 and 4. ]
Happy running!

Hey All who have signed up to go to the Race. We will be meeting
behind the steps of the Field House. If you want to drive bring your
car. If we end up with two many cars I think we can leave them there.
Also I told many of you I would be running tomarrow. I have had a
change of plans I apparently don't have any clothes for running in
this weather so I will be getting it during the 10am run sorry.
Sincerely,
Travis Thomas
