Subject: Incline Club: 9th annual IC party
What a weekend! While I was away running the Leadville Trail 100 I see that most of the IC was dealing with some serious weather issues. But the results from the club are impressive — well done! However, all this talk of who is “King of the Mountain” should just be put to rest! The king of Pikes Peak is a she, and her name is Mother Nature!!!
####
PLEASE submit your R reports for the PPA/M/D and Leadville (pacers and crews too)! http://www.inclineclub.com/rreports.htm This is the ONLY way I am ever going to get the * board updated because the club is just too big to track by reading through 1,000’s of names!!! Finally, these reports do get put (I promise) on the Skyrunner website and are VERY important for other runners out there who do not have the luxury of training on the mountain like we do.

I want to take a minute here to apologize to all the “virtual” IC members out there for the lack of newsletters this year. Simply, Kyla is no longer a baby and my time is limited. I would flat out rather spend an extra half hour with her than working on the newsletter. In addition, I had certain running goals (Leadville) this year that were very important to me (and all consuming) and sometimes I just needed a break! Bottom line, this club has always been about the actual running and as those that run with the club can attest we did a lot of great training this year!
At any rate, I will be looking for people to help me with newsletters and other club aspects next year. The club has simply grown beyond my wildest dreams and I just can’t do it on my own anymore. However, the IC remains a very high priority for me! Its just that my contributions to it are always going to be more focused on ensuring that we are doing the workouts I believe are effective and what 9 years of club runs have shown to be very helpful for a great many people!

AND NOW ICERS... Its time for the 9th annual Incline Club party:-)
When:
Thursday, August 25, 5:45pm — Mansions Park!!! Mansions Park is behind Manitou City Hall or next to Memorial park where we normally meet for our runs.
Why:
*** Club awards to those who made 45 or more workouts. Again, make sure your *s, Rs and what not’s are up to date!!! As always, I am seeking input for the driven award(s) for the year.
*** Food & Drink — enough to make you need to go for a run!
*** Perhaps a food challenge or game or 2, or 3
*** Hanging out and yacking with other like minded crazies
What to bring:
*** A few bucks for Pizza — should be only about $3-$4.
*** If your *last* name is in the A-H range bring something to snack on; chips, pretzels, etc. If your *last* name is in the I-P range bring dessert; ice cream, brownies, cookies, etc. If your *last* name is in the Q-Z range bring something to drink; soft drinks, juices, etc. (no beer allowed in park — sorry).
*** You may also want to bring a chair to sit on.
Who can come:
Family (kids too) and friends are welcome but no pets please. As always, don’t feel you can’t come just because you did not make a club run or only made a few. Bottom line, if you are getting this e-mail you are an ICer:-)

Go out hard, when it hurts speed up!
