Good call, canceling. This allowed my husband to make a
wonderful Mother's Day brunch and shortly I'll be off to give
blood. If I'm up for it later, I'll go to the indoor track at
the JCC.

We are warriors and we are tougher than the toughest. I ran the Boston broiler in 1976. Marcia walked a marathon in Antarctica. We are crazed but we are nor stupid. Why drown like rats at Danehy Park to prove our man/womanhood? I'm off to the gym for a nice treadmill walk.

With the heavy rain coming in tomorrow and the possibility of another flooded basement, I will have to cancel the Danehy race for May. Hopefully it will stop raining by June.

There's post-entry only. Will probably be around $10.

As for Bob's question about 15k, this was originally planned as a 10k. I
vaguely recall talk of including an optional 15k. We can do it. It would
involve two separate starting lines and would only be done if weather is
decent--I wouldn't ask judges to stand around for over 90 min in foul

Another one. More importantly, on Sunday are we racing? Yes or No. Bill said he'll come if there are 6? I'll come if there are 5. Heck, maybe I'll even come if there are 4. But so far I haven't heard anybody commit. Just talk. I'd like to know if I'm helping/racing at Danehy or giving blood.

Does this mean that you lily-livered pipsqueaks are afraid of a little rain? I can remember racing Steve V. for 30 K, at Fresh Pond, with 6 inches of snow on the ground. We had to walk in our own footprints each successive lap. (P.S. I won) Also, we did a 5K race in Attleboro where one corner of the track had 2 " of water on one corner. I say, bring an umbrella and let the toughest man or woman win!

A week of rain will make the course at Danehy impassible, since it always floods at that far end of the field about 200 meters after the start. The only way we could have a race would be if we did 10 laps around the short loop near the parking lot, and I don't know if that's over or under 5k. I will show up if there are at least 6 people who really do want to race rain or shine on the short loop, otherwise I'm fine with cancelling it.

Steve, this reminds me of the race you conducted on the MIT track 20 years
ago in which anyone could walk any distance he wanted.

I'm remembering Tom Knatt, Dick Ruquist, and Myrna Finn going 20K, my doing
10K, George Lattarulo and one of Brian's old cronies from the Central Mass.
Striders going some in-between distance, and a few people doing 5K and
going home early.

I'm not imagining all this, am I?  Are the official results lost to
posterity?
