Was a big day of racing around the area.... I was able to attend the Douglas Trail 11 Mile Race... it a nice turnout, with a lot of Team R.E.D. taking part not only as runners, but also volunteers! A special Thanks to Allan and to the Boynton Family for stepping in to fill those aid stations -- it was a warm one, the aid stations were a great help, nice work! Also a special thanks to Lorelei as lead biker, she didn't even get lost!

Group Run/Walk Opportunities
- Sunday 7:30am: Off Season Striders are meeting at Charlies Pub & Eatery on 2nd St SW in Rochester. Plan on 5-8 miles and some post run chatter, with breakfast if you like.

- Tuesday 6:30pm: Whitewater State Park is the site of this weeks Trail Run. This is one of the favorite locations for so many! A couple of choices as to where to meet. Either at the RCTC Field House at 6pm to carpool/caravan to the park, or go directly to the Whitewater Nature Store, plan to arrive there by 6:30pm.
- Wednesday 5:45pm: Join the hill workout crew for some repeats. What are hill repeats? Much like it sounds.. you go up the hill, come down the hill... and repeat. You can choose how many repeats is right for you! Gather at the Soldiers Field Memorial to get a short warmup over to the base of the hill.
