Club News: 3

Are you guys enjoying this weather?  It’s finally warm!  Which is a good thing for Xena and not so good thing for LisaLisa.  Looks like LisaLisa got to enjoy last bit of the cold weather this past weekend and placed in her age group, along with Louise.  Congrats, ladies!

Since the Scotland 10K was a Club Points Race, a 11 people earned a raffle ticket toward the awesome gift raffle at the Holiday Party.  (All this warm weather is already making us wish it was the Holidays…)  Here’s the ticket tally so far.  Martin, Miller and “G-Man” Masi had earned tickets in a previous race.

As of April 9, 2013

Just to go back and refresh your memory, Agony now has “Captain’s Raffle” going on.  Every Club Points race you enter, you earn a raffle ticket at our Holiday Party.  At party, we’ll draw one winner who will win a fabulous gift.  The gift, we’re told, will be worth at least 3-digits!  OMG!  So the more you race, the more changes you will have to win!

This weekend is the famous, notorious, Boston Marathon Weekend.  We hear the Maharaja has the honor of joining the fabled Red-Bib Crew.  We wish all Agonites running the race a fabulous race!!  Run smart, relax, and have fun on the course, everybody!

Good Deal Alert!

We like good deals.  We always do.

Believe it or not, for a limited time, NYRR has a GOOD DEAL. 

It works like this.  Volunteer as whatever you like and receive a special tech shirt, get free race entry, and get the usual perks of the “9+1 Program”.  They've got great positions available like:

Orange Cone Guardian - "DO NOT KICK MY CONES!!"  aka Keeper of the Road: "NO. If you cross now, you will be killed."

Corral Enforcer - "You have PINK bib, no you can't go in the RED corral even though it's same color family!"

Bag Bitch - "Want that bag? That'll be $20 please."

Water Bandit  - "hehehe, I bet they don't know I put vodka and poop pill in that cup..."

Bib God  - "I think I can find your bib for $10. And no, you can't have an extra shirt." 

Although your choice of free races are limited, some of these races are awesome races!

UAE Healthy Kidney 10K (5/11) – Tech shirt race!!  It’s in Central Park.  If you are super fast elite level runner, you might win tons of money.

New York Giants Run of Champions 5K (6/23) – If you like Giants, you get to run around in their stadium, which I think is in NJ.  Sorry, we’re a little dumb here when it comes to non-running sporting events…

Queens 10K (7/21) – HEY, it’s finally here.  Remember when we couldn’t find it on the schedule?  It’s part of the 5-Borough Series and it’s a shortest one.  You can get it in under an hour and you’ve only got 2 more races for a guaranteed entry for NYC Half 2014.

Percy Sutton Harlem 5K (8/24) – It’s Harlem, it’s 5K, it’s short, hot, and sweet(?).  I hear there would be post race celebrations at Xena’s new digs! (not really)

Normally, when you volunteer, you get a cheesy cotton shirt and a thank you.  This month, you get all sorts of goodies.  So if you got some time, stop by and volunteer.  The weather should be delightful this time of the year, and Central Park’s Cherry’s Blossoms do take your breath away!
