Coach: What are the GA State 70-74 AG Records for the half and 10 Miler? Good Luck. Dynamo Doc 60 Grand Rapids, MI In theroadsscholar@yahoogroups.com, "Jim...
Coach, that should be a piece of cake for you. I would think knocking several minutes off the records will happen. Hopefully that knee of yours cooperates. ...
Did someone say cake? I agree Mr. Dog should have no problem with either of those.... Would the governing athletics body accept a 10 mile record (if properly...
... Not in the States Willie. Our records must be accomplished on a USATF certified course for the appropriate distance. In Georgia it's actually easier for...
Crazed Canine: Thanks for the clarification... Now a harder one.... Could you provide a link to the elevation loss rule....? I believe it's an IAAF regulation...
... Willie ~ I suspect the IAAF rule is the same as the following USATF one: Unaided versus Aided: USATF Rule 185.5: (a) The course must not have a net...
Yup. And I live in Prescott and I run the trails here including the one where she get bit. But just for the record, it WASN'T ME. I would have killed the...
Thanks MadDog... the stipulation I was seeking was the amount of "drop" permitted...I thought it was more than 1 metre/km. It was by looking at your Georgia...
in the case where a runner does get into this kind of situation (get bit by a dog, coyote, fox, etc), what should the runner really do if the runner/person...
Wouldn't recommend this with a wild animal or one apparently suffering with rabies, but what has worked for me with dogs is as follows: 1. While the dog is...
... Well, here in Arizona where this happens all the time, we have two methods of dealing with this, depending on the size of the animal. For squirrels, bats,...

Did the Bethel College 5K Pilot Race on Sat. Cold, 41 degrees but no rain nor snow. Splits were off as the course was revised for the weather but not re- ...
I heard about this race after I finished the Bethel College race on Sat. So I decided to go compete for a second day in a row (race was Sunday). Haven't done...
Yes, I agree that is annoying. I personally haven't noticed it though. I would be correcting them if I did! What has become a pet peeve of mine is giving...
Excellent races Doc! Yes that 5K looks a bit long since you weren't under 20, too bad you don't have a garmin time! ;) Great job on thr whoopings dispensed in...

I wish they'd just call it a 21K and be done with it, and a 42K (ish) for a marathon. I haven't noticed it so much with the half marathon, but I have seen some...
So, Anastasia, How long is that marathon you're running in four weeks? (-: I ran a 50K on Saturday that was 32.4 miles. They didn't measure it wrong. They just...
If they defined the event by the length of time it takes to run it, rather than the distance, I would have several ultramarathons to my credit by now....
That's what I do anytime a course is measured wrong. I list it as the length it SHOULD have been but also the length it really is. I don't mind an odd...
... for a ... some ... What?? Those are NOT marathons? I have been telling people that I run at least 15 marathons each week. I guess I am not half as good...
