As team captain for OWGR (Scott, Ken & Greg) I am very proud of the team effort.
I expect all members to continue to train hard and make improvement in your times. I will be sending out a training schedule that should be strictly adhered to. A couple of areas of potential improvement. 1. Ken - do a better job of getting the directions to the race site. For some reason everyone thought that I knew where I was going. 2. Scott - know exactly how far to run. You said that you had a 1/2 mile kick left in you when he ran out of room to run (sure you did). Scott it’s 5.25 not 5.75.
3. Greg - stop stopping and smelling the roses. I think you also fit in a little time for fishing along the way.
Other than that we were good.
Scott/Kim continue to be aloof. We cheered them on, but they would not even acknowledge the we existed. I think Scott even sneered at us as he went by. And why not, he and Kim were running 9 miles each. We were mere mortals among gods.
Dave had a team that may have done slightly better than us, but I don’t know their team name. So, until I find out we will call it a tie.
And then there was “Achille’s Heels”. I’m not sure their finished yet.
OWGR over all time - 2:49:01
If Ken was only 2 seconds faster we would have been sub 2:49. Come on Ken all I ask is a little more effort - for the team.
We were slightly off the 2:30 that I was shooting for - next year?
My leg 3.75 miles @ 33.42, 8.9 min/mile., AHR 168.
Note: no water on the course

Good job Old White Guys. I would add just one thing to Bryan's suggestions for improvement - Tuesday Track Workouts. According to Ahmed, base building is great for endurance but without some speed work, you will only get strong and SLOW.
I would just like to point out that, after looking over the list of relay team names, your OWGR name looks very racist! Well, SneekyP IS a lawyer and might be able to get you out of any trouble it might cause for each of you when you run for a government office!
I wanted to go for DA Bad A$$ Boys, but that did not sound quite right.
