This Sat, July 27th, we will be running the MaryMount Chain Bridge Loop, listed at 14 miles. Check the cue sheet for directions. This will get you ready for some hills on the first half, and then provide some flat cruising miles the 2nd half! While we should be getting a break from the extreme heat, please keep in mind the heat tips from last week just in case and still remember to be cautious - several water fountains along this route too.
Please thank Angela Katson for great post-run beverage work this month, and Mrs. Big Guy will be providing our mid-run drinks! Additional drink volunteers are always appreciated - its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out. All the needs are posted on the SLR website; we still need post-run and mid-run drink volunteers for August and September.
In club announcments: Thank You to everyone who came out to volunteer and participate in the DCRRC Track Championship for making it a big success!! We have got plenty more summer races coming up too!
To shorten the route, come back via Key Bridge after the C&O Canal Portion, this cuts off 2 making it a 12 mile run.
To lengthen, after crossing Memorial Bridge, curl around to the left and hop on the Mt. Vernon Trail going north, run a loop around Roosevelt Island and then come back through Rosslyn to add about 2 miles on.
Run Strong and stay Cool!
