President's Cup - A great night for all

The Highlands Hashers fielded two teams at the 2011 President's Cup 5k race. Collectively the A team placed 12th overall and the B team placed 21st out of 26 teams. Now, as we know, much depends upon who shows up. And this year was very competitive. Our times, run last year, would have placed 8th overall and 3 seconds within 7th place.

Congratulations to Andy on his first real 5k, and to all who bested their current year 5k times. Well done. And thank you to Ross for bringing the canopy and 6 foot sub! Thanks to our videographers, I have about 2 hours of video to edit down to 5 minutes.

Full results here.

President's Cup Race Report



My knee was feeling ok so I ran the President's Cup without my sandals on and I got a blister. Lucky for me, Sam Adams was there to help with the discomfort. On the ride home, the Parakeet stopped laughing just long enough to remind me that he only does punctures and infections. What a jerk.

Longest Day - The Video

While you are eagerly awaiting the President's Cup Vid, please enjoy this short documentary brought to you by "I'm with Stoopid." 208 miles on a bike (the kind you pedal). 13.5 hours actual ride time. Started at 3:35 in the morning and finished shortly before 10:00 p.m. after 5 flat tires and a thunderstorm. Please also note the steely driving skills of one Harry Palmer who drove the whole thing in low gear at 15 MPH.

Too bad about the rain.
