POOL PARTY TIDBITS! At the annual WRC pool party on the 4th of July, the main news is it didn't rain and the grill worked! The hefty turnout was complemented by Tris Kruger's friend(?) Missy the Mermaid and her "ahem" readiness. Ready for what, we won't say here!
Burgers, dogs, salads, chips, brews, sodies, and the lot were consumed
in unorderly fashion. It was a nice day for lounging by the pool and swimming
following a tough, hot run. Thanks go to Tris for his usual hospitality.
About 30 members were present to partake of the pooling fun. Here are a
few pics of the gathering.
Challice & Adina Ham for the Cam...
Track Workouts Moved to T.C. Williams! Track workouts are on Tuesday evenings, but now are at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria. The track there isn't in perfect condition, but is usable and will suffice until Washington-Lee reopens in the fall. For directions to the track go here. Check out the track workout page for more info. Members receive updated track workout information via the weekly email update. Bring and drink lots of water or your favorite sports drink, it's hot as haties out there! Sunday Distance Runs Sunday Distance Runs are most often run along the Capital Crescent Trail, C&O Canal, or in Rock Creek Park. The Staples store has closed, so there is no longer a red awning marking our starting spot. But, we still meet at the same spot, close to the corner of 33d Street on M Street, NW, 1 &1/2 blocks from the Key Bridge. Great turnouts lately, close to or over 30 people have been showing! Come on out! After the sweaty run, we reconvene at Dean & Deluca's where mud is consumed by many, Gerry and Ed gobble up their weekly almond croissants, Will slams the sushi bar, Court nibbles the bagel and lox, and others tackle their favorite crumpets of the costly kind. Some members also pick up a magazine brought by dental gift horse Tris--can't read em all so I bring them to the club--Kruger. Bring and drink lots of water or your favorite sports drink, it's hot and tough out there! Summer Strides 5k Coming August 14th! The WRC will be helping RacePacket put on the Summer Strides 5k race on Sunday, August 14th, beginning at 8 a.m. in Belle Haven Park in Alexandria. It's a nice flat course along the Potomac. Great summertime race, both short and fast, perfect for the summertime heat. Put it on your calendars! This race proceeds will benefit a great cause, the National MS Society! WRC T-Shirts and Singlets for Sale! We have new tshirts in sizes small through extra-extra large. Member price is $10...get one while they last! Jim Wadsworth will have a stock of them during the Sunday runs, Tuesday track nights, and at some races. See the clothing page for a pic. We also have limited quantities of the new WRC
running top, black with the WRC logo in white, selling for $15.

Lance leads, but only by a mere wet nose...
Lance Armstrong of team Discovery Channel continued strongly toward his quest of a seventh Tour de France victory, but the real surprise was the man in 2nd place a mere 10 seconds back, Kyle Yost of team Vizlsa. Kyle's team with mascot Riley-dawg, were biking their way toward a strong runner-up finish. The main news was how they rode surprisingly well in the "Yelps," Riley's preferred term for Alps.
