8/3 - UHAC Track Meet
The UrbanHonking Track Team will be meeting on August 3rd at 7:30 pm and we're looking for new members! We'll be conducting a timed one mile run at the Lincoln High School track.
Lincoln High School is located at 1600 SW Salmon Street in the downtown area of Portland. Lincoln is between SW Salmon (one-way going East) and Jefferson (one-way going West) & SW 14th (one-way going North) and SW 18th (one-way going South.) The school is convenient to both TriMet bus and MAX routes.
I already ran a timed mile on this track, in 1993, and I'd just as soon not do it again! I can helm the gatorade, though.
What was your time? I bet it was faster than mine will be.
uh, no, I was one of the last people in.
gym class humiliations!
I wanna do a relay race! Pass the baton and all that.
i would participate in a relay, but my lungs will probably explode doing the mile.
junk, also i'm having dinner with my cousin that night. oh well!
I appreciate that this event is being held on a night when I am free, but am curious to know how much research was done on the location? Are we sure to have access to their track? I know Grant HS has a non-fenced track...
Also, as I've shown in eating competitions--I am not a sprinter, I go for distance, so no fast miles for me.
I've seen random dudes run on that track. The high school itself seems to have no events scheduled that night, we looked on their web site. Should be free.
Also, dude, the mile is distance!
Anyway, come and we'll calibrate our Nike+ systems, too.
I checked the schedule, and I ran there the other night. The gate on the south end is open. I wasn't the only one either.
Man, I can run like a motherfucker. That's how I avoid responsibility.
This was fun. My legs hurt from using dormant fast muscles.
I don't feel completely comfortable with my calibration though...might have to do it again.
