In other news, Nat G. is putting together a team for the Great Grain Relay and is looking for some female runners for the team.
The event is held on Sat Feb 27, 12-2pm, teams of 5. Each member will run 800 then pass the sponge to the next member to run 800m etc for a total of 2 hours. The team with the highest number of laps wins.
It’s $100 for a team of 5 and the proceeds (while it’s called the Great Grain Relay) actually go to Juvenile Diabetes. It’s held at the Field house at U of M.
If interested, speak directly with Nat G. or to me and I will pass along the message.

Just saw Oliver making his national Crossfit debut on OPT’s site, and getting great notoriety (as expected). Great job Brendan. Looking forward to the day when he kicks my ass at WOD’s too!
