Tom,

If you are going to Orono this Friday, then it will be a time trial.
The masters meet race is on Fri Aug 3
If you're lucky, your age group competition will be confused, plan on the wrong date but not be corrected, and you will walk solo to a medal on the correct date.

Dear Group,
Good luck to everyone! We fools, who think we have a shot at a medal in the
Masters in Orono, will be contesting the 5K on Friday. I will query Justin
to find out if the NEW treasury will finance a private NEW airplane to allow
members to participate in two races in one day (a la Siggy Podlozny). I
will volunteer to take flying lessons. ;-)

I still am looking for the RW info. that I promised Dot Z. It's in a box
someplace.
